Utah SB0092 amends prosecution laws to allow subsequent homicide prosecutions if certain conditions are met.

Utah SB0092 modifies prosecution laws by defining a "homicide offense" and allowing subsequent prosecutions for such offenses under specific conditions. It ensures that a subsequent prosecution is not barred if the former prosecution was procured by the defendant to avoid a sentence, resulted in a judgment of guilt, or if the former prosecution was for an offense that resulted in bodily injury and the individual died from that injury. The bill also clarifies that attempted homicide offenses do not merge with homicide offenses and that convictions for both offenses are possible.
