Courts - SCOTUS "Petitions to Watch" of interest to Indiana
The "Petitions to Watch" feature from SCOTUSblog today includes several "of interest to Indiana" cases up for consideration at the Justices’ private conference tomorrow on Friday, March 5 that Tom Goldstein thinks have a reasonable chance of being granted.
One is a decision by then-district court judge Tinder re press interviews with death row inmates, Hammer v. Ashcroft.. It is third on the list.
Another is a Kentucky case about which the ILB has had a number of entries (including this one from 10/31/09), Kentucky v. Baker. It is ninth on the list. The issue summary:
Do the Kentucky residency restrictions for registered sex offenders violate the Ex Post Facto Clause when applied to registrants who committed their offenses requiring registration prior to the effective date of the statute but who resided in a prohibited area after the statute took effect?Eighth on the list is another 7th Circuit case, Shabaz v. United States.
