[4] Harry Miller was accused of robbing an elderly woman at knifepoint at a Salt Lake City, Utah convenience store on December 8 of 2000.
Miller testified of his innocence and insisted that it couldn't have possibly been him because he had suffered from a stroke in Louisiana only days before and had been bedridden at the time of the attack.
During this process, new attorneys found evidence that supported Miller's alibi - a testimony from his niece and medical records from a nurse who cared for him following his stroke.
In response to this new evidence, Judge Pamela Greenwood wrote in a conclusion of the court's decision, "Because we determine that Miller's petition presents a 'bona fide issue as to whether (he) is factually innocent of the charges of which (he) was convicted,' we reverse and remand for a hearing to determine Miller's factual innocence.
"[5] On June 13, 1995, the six children of a divorced woman, referred to as S.K., were removed from her home after allegations of physical abuse and head lice infestation.
DCFS issued both the mother and father of the two children separate services plans with a return-home goal.
Seeing that the father was not living at the home when the abuse took place, and that he had complied to his service plan in a genuine effort to change the situation.
"[However,] the State has failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence, especially in light of the conclusions reached with respect to the father, that it would be in the best interests of the children for her rights to be terminated.
While she may not be able to act as the custodial parent for the children, her continued involvement in their life as a mother divorced from their father may yet be important to their well-being.
In 2011 Judge Greenwood received a Lifetime Service award from the Utah State Bar.
