Ind. Decisions - More on Barnes: Why I miss Jon Murray ....

The Indianapolis Star editors a few months back replaced long-time courts reporter Jon Murray with Carrie Ritchie, who was just beginning to settle in when yanked yesterday with no specific replacement -- i.e. the slot has been "down-sized."

This morning the Supreme Court finally issued the long-anticipated ruling on the pending motion for rehearing of its decision in Barnes v. State.

The upshot: The Court's ruling today granted rehearing and affirmed its earlier ruling.

Here are two tweets that followed:
