WEST JORDAN - Third District Judge Royal Hansen said he will decide by June 10 whether to schedule a new trial or impose a sentence for Parley Jeffs Dutson, who was convicted of shooting his girlfriend to death two years ago.

A jury convicted Dutson of murder and aggravated sexual assault, both first-degree felonies, in July 2008.
