Two People from the said Beatrice Six who were convicted in the killing of a Beatrice woman in 1985 are in trial over lawsuits because they were wrongfully convicted. DNA evidence exonerated them in 2009.

Ada Taylor and James Dean sued the state for $500,000 each. Their attorneys say they falsely confessed to the killing, state attorneys say the law excludes those who are convicted, or help other, through perjury.

The trial is expected to last nearly a week. The main concern is whether a false testimony will stop them from receiving compensation.
