Supreme Court won't reimpose death sentence for Utahn convicted in 1985 murder
- The U.S. Supreme Court decided not to reinstate the death sentence for Douglas Lovell, convicted of murdering Joyce Yost in 1985 to prevent her testimony against him.
- The Utah Supreme Court upheld Lovell's murder conviction but vacated the death sentence due to concerns over jurors being influenced by his church status during sentencing.
- Utah Attorney General Derek Brown expressed disappointment that Joyce Yost's family must endure another sentencing trial after 40 years of seeking justice.
- Lovell was initially sentenced to death in 1993 after pleading guilty, but this was overturned in 2011 due to improper advisement of his trial rights.
