SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Supreme Court has rejected the latest appeal from the father of the piano group The 5 Browns.
Keith Brown is serving a prison sentence of at least 10 years and up to life after he admitted in 2011 to sexually abusing his three daughters when they were children.

We wish to be clear: These arguments raise meaty constitutional questions that deserve our attention, states the unanimous opinion released Thursday, authored by Justice Deno Himonas.
