A Rockford man facing a retrial in the 1993 murder of an Illinois State University student is asking a judge to dismiss the charges.

Lawyers for 35-year-old Alan Beaman say McLean County prosecutors didn't follow a Dec. 17 court order to provide the defense with documents, photos, and a list of witnesses.

Beaman's attorneys also want to move the trial from the 11th Judicial Circuit because an area county judge may serve as a witness. Prosecutors declined comment yesterday.

Beaman was convicted in 1995 and sentenced to 50 years in prison in the stabbing and strangling death of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lockmiller. The Illinois Supreme Court threw the conviction out in May 2008, saying prosecutors violated his constitutional right to due process of law.
