(KLZA)-A man convicted in the 2010 death of a Peru State College student is seeking a new trial.
The Beatrice Daily Sun reports Joshua Keadle is arguing that his attorneys were ineffective and failed to call witnesses who could have helped his case.
Keadle filed the request for a new trial last week in Gage County District Court.
He was convicted in 2020 of second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Tyler Thomas and was sentenced to 71 years in prison.
Thomas went missing after a night of drinking on Dec. 3, 2010, and her body has never been recovered.
The Nebraska Supreme Court affirmed Keadle's conviction in 2022.
