When Johnny Wall was convicted in the high-profile slaying of his ex-wife four years ago, he maintained his innocence and his attorneys vowed to appeal.
On Thursday, the Utah Court of Appeals sided with prosecutors, saying that despite Wall’s claims that evidence wasn’t sufficient to convict him of first-degree murder, that the court admitted DNA evidence it shouldn’t have and that his attorneys were ineffective, all the facts point to him killing Uta von Schwedler.
“We are evaluating the next steps, which could include asking the Utah Supreme Court to review this decision,” Booher said.
