Report on the NJ Blakely arguments
Michael Ausbrook at INCourts has this post discussing this morning’s arguments in the New Jersey Supreme Court in three major Blakely cases (background here). I watched a good part of the arguments via webcast, and I concur with Michael’s view that the NJ Supreme Court seemed inclined to apply Blakely to New Jersey’s sentencing scheme, and also seemed most interested in a Booker-like remedy. I believe the arguments should be archived here before too long.
