Two vacancies on the Utah Supreme Court may soon be filled, after Governor Spencer Cox announced his picks to replace Justice Diana Hagen and Chief Justice Matthew Durrant, both of whom have or are in the process of resigning. Today, the Governor announced that he will nominate Judge Matthew Bell and Michael Menssen. The two will now go through the Senate confirmation process. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas talks more about who these men are and what they may bring to the bench.

Should a man whose conviction in a death row murder case was overturned be allowed out on bail while awaiting his new trial? That's the one of the questions at the heart of a legal hearing going on today for Douglas Carter. He had been convicted of murdering Eva Olesen in the 1980s and was sentenced to death. But the Utah Supreme Court overturned his conviction last year, and he's been sitting in the Utah County Jail since then. The state's planning to retry the case but in the meantime, what happens to Douglas Carter? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas gives his takes on this unique situation. As we planned today's show, we started talking more about convictions being overturned. When that happens, what generally happens to the person who spent years in jail or prison for something they didn't do? We broaden the conversation and bring in someone who works to get convictions overturned. Greg and Holly are joined by Kristy Columbia, the Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Innocence Project.
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.
Utah prosecutors pushed back aggressively against Tyler Robinson's attempt to weaken the capital case against him, arguing that the evidence presented at his preliminary hearing was more than enough to send him to trial on every charge. Robinson's attorneys had asked Judge Tony Graf to eliminate the aggravating circumstance that could make him eligible for the death penalty, contending that prosecutors had not established that the shooting of Charlie Kirk created a great risk of death to anyone besides Kirk himself. Prosecutors rejected that argument, saying Robinson allegedly fired a high-powered rifle toward an event attended by thousands of people and that several individuals near Kirk were within the potential zone of danger. The state maintained that the evidence easily cleared the probable-cause threshold and argued that the aggravating factor could ultimately be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.Prosecutors also defended the broader case against Robinson, pointing to evidence they said connected him to the rooftop firing position, the rifle that was later hidden in a wooded area, discarded clothing and messages with his roommate concerning the shooting. They accused the defense of relying on legal precedent that had subsequently been rejected by the Utah Supreme Court without informing the judge of those later rulings, calling the omission a violation of the defense's duty of candor. The state additionally defended the witness-tampering allegation involving Robinson's roommate and argued that evidence supported the accusation that Kirk had been targeted because of his political expression, including an engraved cartridge recovered during the investigation. Judge Graf was expected to rule at a September 1 hearing on whether sufficient probable cause existed to send Robinson to trial, while Robinson had still not entered a plea.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Utah prosecutors push to send Tyler Robinson to trial on all charges | Fox News

Finding out your spouse had an affair is one of the most devastating things a person can go through. After almost 20 years in family law, here's the hard truth I have to sit down and tell those clients: the affair itself probably won't change your divorce. But how you react to it can change everything.In this episode of No One Dies from Divorce, I'm joined by CoilLaw attorney Savannah Lawrence to talk about affairs, betrayal, and what actually happens when infidelity meets family court. This one is close to my heart, because the gap between the emotional damage of betrayal and what the law will actually do about it is one of the hardest things we have to explain to a client.Here's what most people don't realize. Utah is a no-fault state, which means the divorce is almost always granted on irreconcilable differences no matter who did what. Infidelity can matter in a very narrow set of circumstances, and I actually argued a case on exactly this in front of the Utah Supreme Court, but the scope is tiny and it only touches alimony. For the vast majority of people, the painful reality is that cheating will not hand you the win you're looking for. There is no justice or revenge waiting for you in divorce court, and chasing it usually costs you more than it ever gives back.Savannah and I get into when an affair genuinely does affect a case, like when the cheating spouse spent marital money on the affair or when it directly impacts the kids, and why even those are harder to prove than people expect. We talk about the myth that your ex is hiding piles of money somewhere, and why that rabbit hole almost always costs far more than it recovers.Then we get to the part that matters most: how betrayal makes people quietly sabotage their own case. The furious text message. The social media post. Following your ex to prove the affair, which crosses into stalking and harassment faster than people think. The blow-up that becomes a domestic violence charge or a protective order. Betrayal rarely destroys your case. Your reaction to it can. We share real, practical advice for staying out of that trap, including how to keep your communication clean, why revenge is a word I stop my clients from ever using, and how to keep your kids completely out of the middle of it.If you're living through this right now, please hear the most important thing we say. Let yourself grieve, lean on your people, and get a good therapist. But keep your emotional healing separate from your legal strategy, because they don't move at the same speed, and the calmer you stay, the stronger you come out the other side.⭐ Follow Jill Coil: https://www.instagram.com/jillcoil/
The U.S. Supreme Court will review -- and possibly take up -- a court case from here in Utah. The topic of this case is whether or not it's legal for the court to sentence a minor to life in prison without parole. You may not know this, but it's already not legal to sentence a minor to death. But the question here is whether a life sentence for a minor is in the same vein. The Utah Supreme Court ruled on behalf of the defendant, but the Utah Attorney General is appealing that decision. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his thoughts on the appeal and explains the law as it currently stands.

This week on Mormon Stories News, we take a closer look at the people, controversies, and events making waves across Mormonism.We begin with the story of a disturbing abuse case involving a former LDS Priest Quorum Specialist accused of sexually abusing his nephew. The case has prompted conversations about trust, access to youth, safeguarding policies, and whether church members are adequately trained to recognize and prevent abuse within families and congregations.We also examine a rare public apology from General Authority Seventy Kyle McKay. McKay recently acknowledged that previous statements he made regarding Church history were offensive and offered a correction. We discuss what was said and why the apology matters.Can AI replace God? That's the question Elder Gerrit W. Gong recently addressed in a viral Church-produced video. We break down his comments, the Church's growing concern over artificial intelligence, and whether AI is becoming a competing source of information, guidance, and authority for members navigating faith questions.Next, we turn to the appointment of Jay Jorgensen to the Utah Supreme Court. Jorgensen's nomination has sparked discussion because of his employment with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his statements regarding whether he would recuse himself from Church-related cases. We examine the concerns surrounding judicial independence, conflicts of interest, and public confidence in the courts.We dive into the growing controversy surrounding Jeff Strong's book Torn. Strong's work has generated significant discussion among Latter-day Saints by examining why many members become disaffected or leave the Church. Recent responses from prominent LDS commentators argue that Strong's research methodology is flawed and that he misrepresents faithful members' experiences.We finish with a brief snippet from Rebecca Bibliotecca about the ongoing temple drama in Fairview Texas. What are your thoughts on this week's stories? Join the conversation in the comments.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

One of the big stories in the news this week -- with some additional developments this morning -- is the two people picked by Governor Spencer Cox to serve on the Utah Supreme Court. Earlier this week, the Governor announced Stephen Dent and Jay Jorgensen, neither of whom has served as a judge. Now, a non-profit group called Co-Equal Utah is voicing concerns with the two of them being put on the bench. Does it actually matter though? Inside Sources has a conversation with Former Utah Supreme Court Justice John A. Pearce.
In this remastered episode, Laura discusses a significant update in Gabby Petito's case. On Monday 8th August 2022, almost a year to the date of the Moab City Police stop of Gabby's white van, Gabby's mother, Nichole and step-father Jim Schmidt and Gabby's father, Joe and step-mother Tara Petito filed a notice of intent to sue Moab City Police in Utah. The lawsuit went ahead accusing the Police of “negligent failure” to first understand the law and enforce it. They also accuse Moab City Police of “wrongful death” stating that Gabby's “death was caused by their wrongful acts or neglect.” They are seeking $50m in damages. The lawsuit was dismissed by Judge Torgerson in 2024. However, it's not over. The case has been referred to the Utah Supreme Court. For the latest update in the case listen to this episode. Wyoming Crime Scene Visit: Laura recently recorded an exclusive episode based in Wyoming where she retraces Gabby Petito's final footsteps, shares new crime scene observations and behavioural analysis, and compares Brian Laundrie's so-called confession letter with what most likely happened in Gabby's final days.

The last legislative session saw lawmakers expanding the Utah Supreme Court from 5 to 7 justices. As a result, Governor Spencer Cox had to nominate two people to fill those empty seats on the bench. Today, he announced his selections: Jay T. Jorgensen and Stephen P. Dent. We hear from the governor and both of the appointees in a live news conference; Greg then shares his legal thoughts on the process and what happens before the two officially join the state's high court.

Tomorrow, the state treasurer's office will host a webathon to help and encourage people to claim their lost money. Holly and Greg also share some fun facts for this day in history, plus closing arguments on changes to the Utah Supreme Court.
The judge overseeing the Charlie Kirk murder case has reaffirmed that the trial – and preliminary hearings too – will remain open to the media and the public. But Tyler Robinson's defense says they'll appeal that decision all the way to the Utah Supreme Court. We hear the judge's decisions on that and potential sanctions against the Utah County Attorney's Office; Greg shares his legal insights.

The application to get a referendum on the ballot in Box Elder County -- over the proposed data center -- has been rejected and will not be on the ballot in November. But the process to stop the data center isn't over yet; the group leading the charge against the proposal says it will take the issue to court. The county attorney denied the referendum application, saying the county commission's decision was administrative, not legislative. But the group disagrees with that analysis, saying a 2018 Utah Supreme Court decision proves it is legislative, so the people should get to have a say in it. During this segment, Governor Spencer Cox also signed an executive order that raises the bar on future data center developments; Greg and Holly discuss this breaking development.
This isn't something you see every day: Governor Spencer Cox has a unique opportunity to appoint more than half of the next Utah Supreme Court. There were already two openings from the newly expanded court, plus another seat opened up when Justice Diana Hagen resigned. And now, Chief Justice Matthew Durrant says he will retire at the end of August. Greg and Holly discuss the future of the court given the justice shakeups.

In this remastered episode, Laura discusses the other police body worn cameras and highlights new key information available from Officer Pratt's footage, which was released on Friday 1st October. It took Moab City Police Department more than 14 days to release the second video. Laura shares why she believes it took them so long, highlighting three concerning and significant events that happened across that time in Moab City Police Department. This is uncomfortable information to hear - but it's important if we are to truly learn from Gabby's brutal murder in slow motion. You won't want to miss this. *This remastered series is to honour Gabby and ensure the warning signs of coercive control are understood. It's the difference between life and death for so many. Determined to decode the patterns of coercive control and escalating risk, Laura deconstructs the behaviours that were visible - but too often minimised or misunderstood - with forensic precision.

More shake-ups in Utah's judiciary, after the resignation of one of the justices. Justice Diana Hagen issues her resignation following continued investigations -- and leaked information about earlier investigations -- into alleged misconduct. With her announcement, the legislative investigation into her conduct is now over. Greg Skordas shares his worries over this move and what it could mean for the judiciary.
Topics we will cover on this episode of KSL's Inside Sources include: Residents of new Utah city possibly facing property tax increase of 519% Woman visits all 511 parks in Salt Lake County; creates new database on amenities The Atlantic teams up with Deseret News to discuss future of Utah Utah Supreme Court justice resigns amid legislative investigation Trump administration launches new website designed to help pregnant mothers
Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 8, 2026. We open with a story that cuts to the heart of public trust in American institutions — a Utah Supreme Court justice has resigned after it was revealed she was romantically involved with a leftist redistricting attorney whose litigation she ruled on, helping Democrats gain a congressional seat in deep red Utah. We ask the question every American should be asking — is anything sacred anymore? We talk about why courts derive their entire authority from public trust and nothing else, why the founders understood this better than modern elites do, and why if a conservative judge had done the same thing in a case benefiting Republicans, the national media would have run wall-to-wall coverage for weeks. How many times had you heard this story before today? That's the answer. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Virginia State Supreme Court struck down the Democrat redistricting plan that would have flipped the state's congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democrat advantage to a 10-1 advantage — ruling the legislature didn't follow the state constitution's requirement of two separate legislative sessions with an election in between before putting constitutional changes to voters. The whole measure is null and void. Then the U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April — nearly double what economists expected — with March numbers revised upward by 10,000, and first-time unemployment claims remaining at historic lows. And in Britain, Keir Starmer's Labour Party lost more than 1,000 seats in local elections across England, Scotland, and Wales while the new Reform UK party picked up more than 1,500 seats — one of the largest losses by a ruling party in British electoral history. We dig into Senator John Fetterman's Washington Post op-ed titled "I Haven't Changed. Here's What Has" — and we give him credit for saying things no other Democrat in Washington will say out loud. Fetterman says his party cannot simply be the opposite of whatever Donald Trump says. He says Democrats used to want a secure border. They used to believe shutting the government down was wrong. They used to support Israel. He's right on all three. We also note that Fetterman would make a terrible Republican — he's still pro-choice, pro-weed, pro-LGBT, and pro-SNAP — but we make the case that the party Fetterman signed up for no longer exists, and that there is currently no political party in America for people who are pro-abortion and pro-Israel, or pro-social spending and pro-law and order. That used to be the Democrat Party. It isn't anymore. We also weigh in on the decision to allow cameras in the courtroom for the trial of the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk — debating whether transparency and public accountability outweigh the risk of turning a murder trial into a TikTok content machine, and why the O.J. Simpson trial is still the cautionary tale that haunts every conversation about cameras in high-profile courtrooms. Then it's Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including whether Republicans are stealing a Black Democrat's seat in Tennessee (they're not — it's Stephen Cohen, who is white), a publicly funded water park in Plano, Texas holding a Muslim-only day, a South Carolina judge ruling that a convicted murderer can't be executed because he believes he's a god, Washington state making it illegal for daycare workers to peel a banana without a food prep license, Barack Obama blaming Donald Trump for his marital problems with Michelle, and more. We also cover the Pentagon's first release of UFO files at President Trump's direction — and settle the question of whether this is a distraction from Iran. It's not. Donald Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time. And we close with a comprehensive look at the redistricting scoreboard heading into the midterms — Republicans picking up seats in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi, and more, while Virginia's 10-to-1 gerrymander got thrown out. The most likely net outcome, according to the compilation of pundits, is Republicans gaining 11 seats in the House. That's a historic reversal of the typical midterm pattern — and it could change everything. For our Bright Spot, 17-year-old Avant Williams took his grandmother Svala to prom — because she grew up in Iceland watching American movies about prom her whole life and always dreamed of going. He wore a tux. She wore a fancy dress. They went to dinner and took pictures. He said, I've only been looking forward to this moment since I was about two years old. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

When Kouri Richins was arrested in May 2023 for allegedly poisoning her husband Eric with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule, the case against her seemed overwhelming. Financial desperation. Life insurance policies. A housekeeper who said she sold Kouri the drugs. A drug dealer who confirmed the fentanyl. Nearly three years later, as jury selection approaches for her February 2026 trial, the prosecution's case has been carved up by defense wins and judicial rulings. The drug dealer, Robert Crozier, has recanted — now claiming under oath he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl. Judge Mrazik severed 26 financial felony charges from the murder trial, meaning the jury won't hear about Kouri's alleged mortgage fraud, money laundering, or the nearly $5 million her business owed the day after Eric died. The prosecution's domestic violence expert was blocked. Their FBI behavioral profiler was limited to rebuttal-only testimony and cannot be used to suggest guilt. Statements Kouri made during a 2022 search were suppressed because detectives didn't Mirandize her. What prosecutors still have: Carmen Lauber's testimony, Eric's toxicology showing five times the lethal dose of fentanyl, an orange notebook allegedly detailing the night of his death, and the infamous "Walk the Dog" letter found in Kouri's jail cell that prosecutors call witness tampering. The defense says it was fiction. The Utah Supreme Court refused to move the trial out of Summit County despite surveys showing nearly 80% of residents recognize the case. Eight jurors will decide if what's left is enough to convict.#KouriRichins #TrueCrimeToday #EricRichins #UtahMurder #FentanylPoisoning #MurderTrial #WalkTheDogLetter #DefenseWins #TrueCrimePodcast #KouriRichinsTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
