Ind. Courts - Updating: More problems with the Camm trial transcript?
Updating these ILB entries from August 16th and August 16th-2 on reconstructing the inaudible objections in the David Camm transcript, Lesley Stedman Weidenbener of the Louisville Courier Journal reports today:
Lawyers for David Camm will have two more weeks to file the appeal of his convictions in his second murder trial, but Indiana Chief Justice Randall Shepard won't let them write as much as they want about the case.In an order issued yesterday, Shepard agreed to another extension of the deadline for the brief supporting Camm's appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court.
But Shepard denied the attorneys' request to increase the size limit on the brief from 21,000 words to 28,000. * * *
Shepard's ruling on the appeal extension gives court officials in Warrick County time to incorporate in the transcript reconstructed versions of objections raised during the trial. The court reporter had not been able to hear discussions about the objections, which took place near the judge's bench, so they were not included in the official transcript.
Warrick County Superior Court Judge Robert Aylsworth earlier this week approved some reconstructions of the discussions for inclusion in the transcript. The court reporter has until Oct. 3 to complete the new transcript, and then Camm's attorneys have until Oct. 12 to finish the brief.
