MOUNDSVILLE A man who faced decades behind bars is a free man after the court found that the prosecution followed improper procedure in his indictment.
Michael Daniel “Dan” Bowman, now 41, was initially convicted in July 2017 of sexual abuse by a custodian, sexual assault, and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, with his sentences running consecutively for a sentence of 28 to 70 years. His case was heard by Judge Jeff Cramer and prosecuted by Rhonda Wade, who has since retired as Marshall County’s prosecutor. She now serves as an assistant prosecutor. Wade was not available for comment.
