From Roll Call (sub. req.):
Sen. Larry Craigâs (R-Idaho) legal team filed a brief Tuesday in the Minnesota Court of Appeals seeking to overturn a lower courtâs ruling preventing him from withdrawing his guilty plea.
The brief argues that the Hennepin County district court âabused its discretionâ by refusing to allow Craig to withdraw his guilty plea in a ruling on Oct. 4. Craig filed a notice of appeal on Oct. 15 and briefs were due on Jan. 8.
The state now has 45 days to respond.
