State v. Cooke
State v. Cooke, 2025 UT 6 (Pohlman, J.)
Criminal
The Utah Supreme Court held:
- The district court correctly determined that Defendant’s prosecution may continue unabated despite repeal of the statute under which he was initially charged.
- Practice tip: The plain language of Utah’s general saving statute, Utah Code section 68-3-5, permits a pending criminal prosecution to continue unaffected by repealing the underlying criminal offense.
