Douglas Stewart Carter released from US death row after 41 years: DNA does not match evidence
Douglas Stewart Carter in the US has been released from death row after 41 years. He was sentenced to death in 1985 for the murder of the police chief's aunt in Provo, Utah. There was no direct evidence, and Carter claimed his confession was coerced under threats. DNA testing has now shown it does not match the evidence.
