8:55Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS — Christopher Tapp appeared in court Tuesday after he was arrested on charges of domestic battery and interference with a telecommunication device.
Tapp pleaded not guilty to both misdemeanor charges.
Tapp was represented by public defender John Thomas, the same attorney who fought to get Tapp’s 1997 rape and murder conviction overturned.
Tapp was convicted of raping and murdering 18-year-old Angie Dodge at her Idaho Falls apartment. He confessed to Idaho Falls Police detectives that he had committed the crime, but serious questions were raised over the years that the confession was coerced or false. Numerous DNA samples left at the crime scene did not match Tapp’s.
In March, the rape charge was vacated as part of an agreement that allowed him to be released from prison with a completed sentence.
