Montana Supreme Court invalidates fair trial bill
The Montana Supreme Court declared the fair trial bill substitute for senate bill No. 71 unconstitutional in a majority opinion by Chief Justice Holloway with Brantly and Milburn concurring. The ruling centers on original appellate and supervisory jurisdiction and notes the act overstepped constitutional authority by directing temporary district judge appointments and marking biased judges. Milburn and Brantly caveat that the decision leaves open whether supervisory power could bar biased judges from trying cases, depending on future applications.
