Attorney General’s Office Evaluating Options in Case of Dismissed Homicide

The Utah Attorney General’s Office has not committed one way or another whether they will appeal a judge’s decision made last week in 8th District Court to dismiss a charge against a Duchesne County jail nurse. The charge of misdemeanor negligent homicide against 50-year-old Jana Clyde was dropped by 8th District Court Judge Lyle Anderson last Thursday. According to Utah Attorney General’s Office representative Cindy Reinhard, the Attorney General’s Office is “currently reviewing [the] decision and is evaluating all [their] options moving forward.” Nurse Clyde was charged in September by the Attorney General with Negligent Homicide, a class A Misdemeanor, in the death of Madison Jensen in the Duchesne County Jail on December 1st, 2016.
