Blakely Blockbuster?
June 18, 2004
With at most only a few weeks before the end of the term, the Supreme Court’s still has not handed down a decision in Blakely v. Washington (which should provide much more guidance about the meaning of Apprendi). This fact is leading me to think that the decision might prove to be be a blockbuster along the lines of Ring v. Arizona, and not a big nothing like Harris v. United States. Stay Tuned.
