From time to time, it’s claimed that nineteenth-century Mormon leaders advocated, or even practiced, the murder (“blood atonement”) of apostates, adulterers, and other such folks.
Is there any truth to this accusation?
The estimable blog of Robert Boylan calls attention to two good treatments of the subject:

“‘Dead Men Tell No Tales!’ The Blood Atonement Balance Sheet”
