On Friday I reported here on the case of Street v. State, a Court of Appeals decision issued Friday, 9/23/04, ruling, as stated in the Indianapolis Star, that "A man convicted of fatally shooting his mother and wounding his father in their Terre Haute home in 1993 should not have been found competent to stand trial ...". I have obtained a copy of the decision; it may be accessed here.
Pursuant to Appellate Rule 65, the decision was classified by the Court of Appeals as a not-for-publication memorandum decision (NFP). Recall that under Rule 65(D), "Unless later designated for publication, a not-for-publication memorandum decision shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited to any court except by the parties to the case to establish res judicata, collateral estoppel, or law of the case."
