Ind. Courts - Appeal of Bei Bei Shuai bond denial awaiting completion of briefing

As noted in this ILB entry from June 28, 2011 (one month ago), on June 6th, the day that "Marion Superior Court Judge Sheila Carlisle ... ruled that Bei Bei Shuai will not be released on bond," a notice of appeal was filed, quickly followed by a motion to expedite appeal. On June 27th, the Court of Appeals granted the motion for expedited appeal.

The Indianapolis Star has a story this afternoon headed "Indy mom accused of eating poison appeals denied bond," that reports:

Marion Superior Court Judge Sheila Carlisle ruled earlier this year that Bei Bei Shuai should not be allowed to bond out of jail because there’s evidence to show she committed the crime.

Shuai’s attorney, Linda Pence, has appealed that decision and the Indiana Court of Appeals agreed to expedite its review of the case, Pence said in an email.

In short, nothing new here, except a reminder that Shaui remains in jail, where she has been since last December.

A review of the docket by the ILB found several amicus briefs filed or in process, including one on behalf of literally many dozens of associations and individual Ph.D's.
