Utah man freed after DNA clears him of 1985 murder
A Utah man convicted of the 1985 murder of Eva Olesen has been released from death row after DNA evidence excluded him as a suspect. The 71-year-old, who had maintained innocence and claimed police coercion, was granted bail pending a new trial following a Utah Supreme Court order citing misconduct by investigators. The DNA analysis, received recently, showed he was not connected to key evidence, though prosecutors have not disclosed if they will pursue other suspects.
