Regional Radio News is issuing an apology after receiving a fake press release concerning the release of Jamal Shehadeh.  Judge Sarah Darrow denied a motion for overturn of conviction. After speaking with Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler of the Taylorville Police Department, Regional Radio News learned that they had received a fake press release that was sent out concerning a retrial of Jamal Shehadah.  Shehadeh is still in jail. The conviction has NOT been overturned. Shehadeh has lost his motion for a new trial, according to the courts. 

Regional Radio News apologizes to the Taylorville Police Department and to the public for this error and will make sure it doesn't happen again.
