Man gains bail after 41 years on Utah death row
Douglas Stewart Carter, who spent 41 years on Utah's death row for the 1985 murder of Eva Olesen, was released on bail after DNA evidence excluded him as a suspect. Carter, sentenced to death, maintains his innocence and claims his confession was coerced; new DNA analysis showed no link to blood or genetic material at the crime scene. The Utah Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year due to misconduct by investigators, and he was bailled with a GPS monitor despite objections from the victim's family.
