Man released on bail after 41 years on death row

The state Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year, citing misconduct by investigators, and a judge bailed Carter on Monday despite objections from the victim's family.

Then this month, prosecutors said that results of a DNA analysis excluded Carter as a possible match to blood found on a doorknob and genetic material recovered from the handle of the knife.

Believing he was a suspect in an unrelated case, Carter fled Utah but was eventually found in Nashville, Tennessee.
