SALT LAKE CITY — Lawyers for a family made famous by the TV show “Sister Wives” are set to ask a federal appeals court on Thursday to uphold a ruling that decriminalized polygamy in Utah.
The case is scheduled to come before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver after the Utah attorney general appealed a ruling that struck down key parts of the state law banning polygamy.
