The retrial has concluded for Jana Clyde, the Duchesne County nurse charged with the 2016 Negligent Homicide of 21-year-old jail inmate Madison Jensen. The bench trial with Judge Don Torgerson took place this week in Uintah County’s 8th District Court after the jury trial in June ended in the jury deadlocked and the judge calling a mistrial. The state presented their case on Day 1 and into Day 2 of the bench trial. The defense presented their case on the latter half of Day 2 and into Day 3 which ended with the court receiving closing arguments on both sides. Day 4 of the bench trial that was scheduled to take place in Duchesne County was canceled. As it is a bench trial, Judge Torgerson now has up to 30 days to issue a written decision in the case.
