petition this week

This week, we highlighted a petition for proof asking the Supreme Court to consider the claims brought by two criminal defendants under expedited trial, which sets out time frames for different stages of criminal proceedings.

Under the Expedited Trial Act, the government must file an indictment within 30 days of arresting a person, and a trial must begin within 70 days of the indictment. If the government fails to meet these deadlines, the defendant can drop the prosecution.However, the Expedited Trial Act allows trials to continue in certain circumstances, including [the judge’s] The findings suggest that the best interests of the public and the accused in a expedited trial are outweighed by such actions to serve the purpose of justice. ” In this case, the court must “set[] Fourth, based on statutory factors, the reasons for its findings. Finally, when a judge dismisses a case under the Expedited Trial Act, the judge may sometimes do so “with prejudice,” preventing the government from seeking new prosecutions for the conduct .

Olson v United States File a claim under the Expedited Trials Act for delays in jury trials during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jeffrey Olson’s trial was scheduled for May 2020 but was postponed after the pandemic began. By order of the chief judge, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California will not hold a jury trial until May 2021. The parties in Olson’s case initially agreed to postpone the trial until October 2020, but the judge rejected the government’s request. Another went on and asked the chief judge to subpoena jurors. After the chief justice denied the request, the Olson judge dismissed the prosecution with prejudice. According to the statute, a factor that could support a “judicial purpose” to proceed occurs when “failure to allow the proceeding in the proceeding may render such proceeding non- proceeding”. Noting that a jury trial is taking place in state court across the street (and other businesses in the county are open), the judge determined that a jury trial in Olson’s case was not “impossible.”U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reverse, ruling that the district court erroneously focused only on the actual possibility of holding a trial. The Ninth Circuit held that the chief judge’s suspension of the central jury trial did make Olson’s trial impossible.in his petitionOlson claims circuit splits have arisen in various aspects of the Ninth Circuit analysis.

exist Gottesfeld v United States, Martin Gottesfeld was indicted 246 days after his arrest, after six judicial closures. Gottesfeld argued that despite statutory requirements, judges did not “set[] The fourth” record why “justified purposes” support any reason for the continuation. After Gottesfeld filed a motion to dismiss, the second judge held that Gottesfeld had “shown that he was ‘seriously considering’ a plea deal” to continue the reason. U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals confirmon the grounds that “the statute does not require that the judge granting an extension must be the same judge who stated on the record the reasons for the final decision to exclude the time.” In his petition, Gottesfeld insists, the circuit is split on this issue. (In another question, Gottersfield argued that the judge exceeded his discretion because the judge responded to Gottersfield’s three recusal motions, alleging a conflict of interest, using only the directive “motion denied.” , without any explanation or disclosure. The First Circuit also rejected this point of contention.)
