At issue are approximately 8,000 pages of unreleased documents contained in Bloomington Police Department and FBI files from the years-long investigation into the disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Jill Behrman.

The defense argued the documents could have been relevant to jurors, while the state contended Myers' lawyer had access to grand jury proceedings and pertinent investigative reports back in 2006 and nothing was kept back.

Three years later, John Myers, who lived near Ellettsville, was convicted of her murder by jurors in Morgan County who heard a case based on circumstantial evidence. The victim's mother, Marilyn Behrman, told the FOX 59 reporter she is convinced Myers killed her daughter.
