DANVILLE – A former Belgium police officer who was convicted of official misconduct and criminal sexual abuse in October is getting a new trial.
Vermilion County Circuit Judge Claudia Anderson on Monday threw out the guilty verdicts and granted David L. Lewis a new trial, after his attorney argued his client did not get a fair one. Among other things, Danville attorney Mark Christoff said neither the prosecutor nor Lewis' accuser, who testified, disclosed the accuser's full legal name or the fact that she has a felony conviction.
