Rippey v. State and a New Day for Challenging (Bad) Guilty Pleas in Utah

If you or a loved one has entered a plea of guilty (or no contest) to a criminal charge in Utah, the new case of Rippey v. State probably affects you, so you should know about it. Rippey is a big deal. And, IMO, it’s a good thing for criminal defendants, but also for fairness and constitutional rights in Utah.
