Supreme Court won't reimpose death sentence for Utahn convicted in 1985 murder

The Supreme Court upheld the Utah Supreme Court's decision to overturn Douglas Lovell's death sentence.
Lovell is set to return to court to determine if he had ineffective legal counsel and if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints interfered in his 2015 trial.
The Utah Supreme Court found that Lovell's attorneys inadequately addressed testimony regarding his excommunication from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during sentencing.
Douglas Lovell was convicted in 1992 for the 1985 murder of Joyce Yost, whom he killed to prevent her testimony against him.
