  "summary": "Utah judge releases 71-year-old Douglas Stewart Carter, who spent decades on death row for a 1985 murder, after newly analyzed DNA evidence did not match him. Carter was convicted based on a coerced confession and two witnesses who later recanted, despite no physical evidence linking him to the crime scene. The state Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year due to misconduct by investigators. Judge Derek Pullan ordered Carter to wear a GPS monitor and avoid contact with the victim's family, citing the need to address the trauma of his extended incarceration.",
