The Summit County Attorney’s Office on Wednesday announced it is launching a “conviction integrity unit,” a new tool that County Attorney Margaret Olson says can provide a pathway to justice for those who have been wrongfully convicted of a crime.
There are several layers of review before a conviction can be overturned and a sentence commuted, but the program allows those who have been convicted of a crime a chance to challenge it if new evidence comes to light.
Olson indicated the unit would contribute to a foundational part of society: trust in the legal system.

Welcome to High Valley Transit. Next stop: Heber?
Last week was a notable one for public transit in Summit County, as the newly expanded Snyderville Basin Public Transit District convened for the first time and (almost) selected “High Valley Transit” as its new name, one of a number of administrative tasks on its agenda as it sets out to meet a July 1 deadline to take over operations in the Basin from Park City Transit.
The district will need to hold a public hearing to officially change the name, which officials indicated is scheduled for March 4. Other finalists included Altitude Transit and Peak Link, but officials worried the latter might easily be changed to a derisive term.

Big changes might be coming to the proposal to build 1,100 new residential units in Kimball Junction, after the Summit County Council indicated Wednesday it would reopen the development agreement that governs the land and broaden the scope of its evaluation of the project.
County Council Chair Glenn Wright said in an interview the plan is to create subcommittees to address key issues and to meet frequently with developer Dakota Pacific Real Estate in coming weeks.
County staffers indicated there could be an agreement for the council to review in mid-March, though the process may extend well beyond that.
