The Utah Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in State v. Kamara on an appeal challenging multiple convictions and raising claims of insufficient evidence as to the victim's age and number of occurrences, ineffective assistance of counsel, a mistrial issue based on an in‑court overheard comment, and a Rule 23(b) remand request about text-message and social‑media evidence. The court took the matter under advisement and will issue a written opinion.
