Death penalty opinion filing Monday

August 22, 2014

As expected, the Supreme Court on Monday morning will file its opinion in People v. Bryant, Smith, and Wheeler, an automatic appeal from an October 1995 judgment of death.  The case was argued on the court’s late-May calendar.

Look for opinions in Patterson v. Domino’s Pizza LLC and People v. Chandler on Thursday.  Those are the last two opinion-less cases from the June calendar and Thursday will be the court’s last regular opinion filing day within the 90-day rule.

The Bryant, Smith, and Wheeler opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
