April Changes Coming for Local Criminal Case Management

By Cleveland Law Library

Starting on April 14, 2008, Cuyahoga County prosecutors and prisoners will have to follow new criminal case management rules. According to upcoming changes in Local Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Rule 23 on Criminal Case Management, prisoners in the Cuyahoga County jail who have been bound over to the grand jury must be released if they have not been indicted within 30 days. The exception to this new rule allows the Administrative Judge of the Common Pleas Court to grant the prosecutor additional time for good cause.  According to the Court's Press Release, comments on the new rule will be accepted until April 7th.
