A former Illinois prosecutor who was found not guilty two months ago in the 2006 death of his first wife has filed a federal lawsuit for damages. Curtis Lovelace, his sons Logan and Lincoln, and his wife, Christine, on behalf of minor son Larson, filed suit against several officers and officials in Adams County and the city of Quincy.
The suit alleges Curtis Lovelace was the subject of malicious prosecution and was deprived of his constitutional rights as well as due process in the case.
The Quincy Police Department, city of Quincy, Adams County officials and Adams County Coroner Gary Farha declined to comment. Adams County Coroner James Keller didn't immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment.
