The U.S. Supreme Court will review two cases next month with N.C. ties. Either case could return the Tar Heel State to national headlines when the nation’s highest court starts its next term in the fall. Justices have set June 15 as the date to consider whether to take up Quad Graphics v. N.C. Department of Revenue and Diaz-Tomas v. North Carolina.
The U.S. Supreme Court could decide soon whether to take N.C. cases dealing with sales taxes and DWI prosecutions.
Lawyers for N.C. state government are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a case involving the prosecution of impaired driving cases in the Tar Heel State. Two DWI defendants claim prosecutors left them in legal limbo when they refused to enter guilty pleas.
The libertarian Cato Institute is supporting the bid of two N.C. drunk driving defendants to have their case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. The defendants claim authorities have denied their right to a "speedy" trial.
