SUA: Condamnat la moarte, eliberat după 41 de ani în urma testelor ADN

A 71-year-old man, Douglas Stewart Carter, was released on bail after DNA evidence cleared him of a 1985 murder. A Utah judge ordered his release despite objections from the victim's family. Carter, who maintained his innocence, had been on death row for decades. The Supreme Court of Utah ordered a retrial due to investigative misconduct. Recent DNA tests showed no connection between Carter and the crime scene. He will wear a GPS monitor while awaiting a new trial and must avoid contact with the victim's family. His defense attorney criticized the original investigation and called for the murder charge to be dropped.
