Ind. Decisions - Barnes petition for rehearing filed

On June 8 the ILB posted the legislators' amicus brief re a rehearing of the Supreme Court's decision last month in Barnes v. State.

Here now is the Petition for Rehearing filed yesterday by Mr. Barnes' attorney. [I've OCRed it and reduced the file size]

From the Court's press officer:

Barnes' attorney filed a petition for rehearing on June 9th. The State has until Monday, June 27 to file a response brief. After that, no further briefs are allowed.

PROCEDURE
When the Court has received all briefs in a case the matter is considered "fully briefed." The 5 Justices of the Supreme Court will then take the matter under consideration. The Justices will then rule on the rehearing petition. There is no timetable for the Court to make that decision. When the Court makes a decision it is a matter of public record and will appear on the docket.
