Ind. Courts - Report of Court of Appeals oral argument held in Evansville
Kate Braser of the Evansville Courier & Press reported yesterday (complete with a photo of the judges) on the oral argument held Thurday in Evansville. Some quotes:
A crowd of more than 100 at the University of Southern Indiana got a closeup look at how part of the Indiana judicial system works.Three of the 15 judges on the Indiana Court of Appeals visited Evansville on Thursday to hear an appeal from Lake County Superior Court. * * *
The visit marked the Court of Appeals' sixth visit to USI and the 181st oral argument heard on the road.
Hearing the case were Judges Melissa May, Nancy Vaidik and Michael Barnes.
May previously practiced law in Evansville. Representing the state was Scott Barnhart, originally from Newburgh. His parents attended the session.
The defendant in the case, Sergio Campos, is charged with dealing cocaine after police stopped a car in which he was a passenger.
At issue is whether the search was fair.
