Evansville Sued for Violating Gun Owner's Rights

[MikeDVB]

Oh ok - yeah I thought I might have been confused.

Thanks for clearing that up. Admittedly this has been dragged out quite a bit sadly.

STOP RESISTING!!!

The state's court database system, mycase.in.gov, shows the jury trial that was to be held 10/20 has been cancelled. Further more, there is a pretrial conference set for March 20th, and a jury trail set for March 30th.

A positive is that the case has been allowed to proceed to a jury trial, and the defendants motion for (I'm guessing here) dismissal was denied. The attorney listed as representing the city and parks department is listed as a attorney with a local law firm. Interestingly his bio page says he was a past member of the Evansville Parks Department Board of Directors. I wonder how much the city/parks department has paid out so far defending this case.

When can he give the story? (#2_9/16/2011)

Not very soon, it seems.

Any updates on this?

This has been going on for so long that I had forgot about it. I am still planning on being at the court house when the date is announced.

Any updates on this?

I looked it up and it looks like the city filed an interlocutory appeal at the end of last year, probably asking the court of appeals to grant one of its motions to dismiss or for summary judgment. The CCS is not entirely clear on the reason, but the March trial and pretrial were vacated. It is likely that the case has been put on hold until the court of appeals rules on the city's appeal.

When people know they're going to lose on the facts of the case, they do everything they can to avoid facing the facts of the case.

I pity the taxpayers of Evansville.

Just imagine how fast this could have been resolved if pompous ego's in the city government hadn't been involved ?

Did the thin blue line send links to this thread like they did for Carmel?

Court of Appeals Hearing Mesker Zoo Gun Case in Evansville - Tristatehomepage - Eyewitness News

"The arguments get underway at 11 Wednesday morning in the Walnut Rooms of Tropicana in downtown Evansville."

I think we should all go down there to show support. Pack the house!

You do realize TODAY was Wednesday, yes?

 

[WebHobbit]

I missed this post. And have no clue what it means.

Appeals court takes about 6 weeks for an opinion but are under no real time constraint that I know of.

Ben,

So have all the proceedings happened and now you wait for a decision?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Lock, it's an interloc appeal, not an appeal from a final order.

The prosecution tried to use INGO posts against Liberty Sanders in Carmel, IIRC.

Kirk,

Thanks for the reply. I'm a legal dumb ass. Can you make it easy for me to understand what that means?
