The Supreme Court will have the cert petitions in Hammon v. Indiana and Davis v. Washington before it at its conference on Friday; my understanding is that it will probably announce its decisions whether to take the cases on Monday. Meanwhile, here is a link to a helpful article in the National Law Journal discussing these two cases and the split among jurisdictions in treating fresh accusations made to governmental agents.
