According to an article in the Salt Lake Tribune Sunday June 7 1987 Utah’s immunity laws may allow the alleged killer of Sharon Sant to go free Following a confession by Robert William Bott Deputy Millard County Dexter Anderson Attorney presumably acting without authorization is reported to have granted Bott The situation has comimmunity plicated the trial scheduled to resume August 10 1987 The Tribune article states that at this time the “only type of immunity a prosecutor is able to grant is ‘transactional immunity’ which” basically gives immunity from prosecution for any crime that person is testifying about” With the confusion that has resulted from Bott’s confession to Anderson the attorney for Bott has filed a motion with Judge George Ballif of the 4th District asking the state to uphold its immunity promise or to release his client Last year the state Legislature defeated Senate Bill 65 a bill strongly supported by prosecutory and law enforcement agencies The bill “would have allowed prosecutors to enact ‘use immunity’ which allows prosecutors to compel a person to testify about an incident promising only that particular ' statement can not be used against them It does not preclude later prosecution for the crime providing prosecutors do not derive any of their evidence from the immunized statement" Warren Peterson Millard County Attorney stated that all of the information in the Tribune article was gathered from sources other than the Millard County Sheriff’s office or the County Attorney’s office The judge in the case had earlier ordered the court files be
