Episode Description

41 years behind bars — much of it on death row. Now Douglas Carter is out on bail, and tested crime-scene DNA doesn’t match him. But Utah County prosecutors are still pursuing charges in the 1985 killing of Eva Olesen. Carter's conviction was overturned and now a judge is weighing whether his disputed confession can be used at trial. So what does that DNA evidence mean and what would justify taking this case back to a jury? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas answers Holly's questions.
