I have been reading the book Wife Number 19 about Blood Atonement as it existed in the early days of Mormonism. Here is a Wikipedia quote on the topic.
Blood atonement is a disputed doctrine in the history of Mormonism, under which the atonement of Jesus does not redeem an eternal sin. To atone for an eternal sin, the sinner should be killed in a way that allows his blood to be shed upon the ground as a sacrificial offering, so he does not become a son of perdition.
The reliability of Wikipedia is disputed since it is built by people all over the internet.
