@utahabc4: After spending 40 years on death row for the murder of Provo resident Eva Olesen in 1985, Douglas Carter has been released on bail as he awaits a new trial. After key witnesses in his case retracted their testimony, Carter, now 71, was scheduled to receive a retrial. He was granted a new bond hearing, and during that hearing on Monday, he was granted release and is set to go home after 41 years in custody. Full story on abc4.com
I’m disgusted with this case. Makes you wonder how many more cases are just like Doug’s. The state of Utah is one of the most, if not the top corrupt states in the union. Our justice system needs to do better!

he was engaged to my mom in 1985 they threaten my mother with deportation! the Bérmudéz family! I was 5-7 years old when Doug went to prison. I kept all his 70s and 80s music collection . they tried to manipulate my mother's testimony and kept her away from the court trials

That sucks. People’s dishonesty stole this man’s life. Nothing can repay that man back for what he’s lost. I’m not even 41 and I’ve had a long life

Wow! 41 years! I think for every year he was in the state gives him a fat check! So incredibly sad that his life was stolen from him though. A truck load of cash wouldnt make up for that.
