At the end of July the Indiana Law Blog published a two-part entry titled an "Overview of Blakely in the 7th Circuit and in Indiana State Courts." Part I dealt with 7th Circuit courts; Part II with Indiana state courts.
I plan to update these entries by Labor Day at the latest. Those who follow this blog regularly know that there have been several recent Indiana Court of Appeals decisions referencing Blakely. And perhaps there will be more by Labor Day.
In the federal courts, as a result of the Booker decision, the circuit court has been remanding with this statement: "Thus, in light of the analysis set forth in Booker, we remand these cases to the district court for resentencing." But what happens then? And what of initial sentencing decisions at the district level, post-Blakely/Booker?
District courts from Wisconsin have issued several interesting decisions. Indiana's district courts have made several rulings, but none of them seem to be written. And I haven't yet looked into Illinois.
Readers are invited to contribute any information they may have. (Be sure to let me know whether or not I may use your name.)
