Tacoa Talley, who was convicted in 2023 for the murder of Jodie Bevans, has filed an application for post-conviction relief under Iowa Code Chapter 822.
Post-conviction relief allows those convicted of crimes to challenge the fairness of their trial or sentencing. Talley's filing suggests he believes there was a legal or procedural issue with his conviction, such as inadequate legal representation or other factors that may have affected the outcome of his case.
A conference to schedule a hearing on the matter is set for April 28, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. However, court dates are subject to change.
Talley was sentenced to life in prison. His girlfriend, Samantha Bevans, Jodie's stepdaughter, was also convicted and received a life sentence for her role in the crime.
