A man who spent decades on Utah's death row and is now facing a new trial for aggravated murder is expected to learn more about his potential future tomorrow.

Douglas Carter was convicted of murdering Eva Olesen in 1985. But new information – plus misconduct by police and prosecutors during his original trial – resulted in his conviction and death sentence being overturned by the Utah Supreme Court.

As attorneys prepare for a new trial, Carter's biological son is speaking publicly for the first time about this whole process and experience, and how learning who his father was at 18 has dictated much of his adult life.

KSL spoke exclusively with Tyler Anger and his wife, Melissa, about the experience. KSL Podcasts executive producer Amy Donaldson has been covering this story; she joins Greg and Holly with more on the Angers' experiences.
