Douglas Stewart Carter is an inmate on
death row in the state of Utah.
Crime
In 1985, a jury convicted Carter of murder based on a written confession
Carter gave to police, which Carter later argued was coerced. But
prosecutors presented two witnesses at trial to corroborate the
confession: Epifanio and Lucia Tovar, who testified that Carter had
bragged about killing 57-year-old Eva Olesen, the aunt of Provo’s police
chief at the time.
His appeal includes: Mr. Carter was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1985 murder of Eva Oleson. Subsequently, Mr. Carter appeared before the Provo district court, the U.S. District Court for the State of Utah, and the Utah Supreme Court on numerous occasions both on direct appeal and on motions for post-conviction relief. During that time he was represented by a variety of different criminal defense attorneys. Most recently Mr. Carter’s state- appointed criminal defense lawyer filed the petition for post-conviction relief that is the subject of this case in January 2006. This criminal defense attorney then withdrew and was replaced by two criminal defense lawyers from Arizona who were admitted pro hac vice to practice law in Utah.
