Jamie Weis
Weis' speedy trial ruling to go to U.S. Supreme Court?
The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday let stand a speedy-trial ruling against a death-penalty defendant who sat in jail for more than two years without lawyers to defend him, according to the AJC.
Lawyers for Jamie Ryan Weis, accused of killing a Pike County woman during a 2006 burglary, had asked the court to reconsider its second ruling in the case. On Monday, the court said it would not allow Weis' lawyers to file their motion, which they submitted to the clerk's office on April 14. The order noted that three of the court's seven justices -- Carol Hunstein, Robert Benham and Hugh Thompson -- dissented to the court's refusal to accept the motion.
Stephen Bright, one of Weis' lawyers, said Monday he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the state Supreme Court's ruling.
