Petition seeking a New Trial for Barton McNeil filed by two Illinois innocence projects. Eight new evidence items cited warrant Barton a New Trial

On February 23rd the attorneys for both the Illinois Innocence Project and Exoneration Project, which is two out of the three innocence projects that exist in the State of Illinois, filed on my behalf a Successive Petition for Post-Conviction Relief. This document sets forth eight items that should be considered New Evidence that should warrant me a New Trial. In truth, I Barton McNeil, do not believe any charges should have ever been filed against me in the first place as all guilt for the heinous murder of my daughter Christina McNeil rested with none other than my ex-girlfriend Misook Nowlin Wang. The New Evidence should all be considered new as it was not available for when I attended my Bench Trial before a lone judge who found me guilty and sentenced me to lifetime imprisonment otherwise known as “death by prison”.

Chris Ross, cousin of Barton McNeil, lives in San Diego and is an unwavering advocate for his innocence. For thirteen years there were no breaks to reverse the fate that had befallen a loving father no person can imagine. Then in September 2011 his violent estranged girlfriend Misook Nowlin Wang, always the known second leading suspect in his daughter’s 1998 murder, returned to Bloomington and strangled to death her mother-in-law in a macabre premediated murder.

She exacted revenge against her husband Don Wang for having an extramarital affair just as she avenged Barton 13 years earlier for breaking up with her leaving her the classic woman scorned.
