Indiana Democratic Party Chair Dan Parker issued the following statement in response to the announcement that the Indiana Supreme Court has accepted transfer of the Charlie White case and will place it on an expedited schedule for disposition:

“We are delighted that the Supreme Court has accepted this case and will hear our argument on an expedited schedule.

“This ensures that the issue will be quickly resolved, removes instability from the process and should prevent the Governor from making any further appointments pending the outcome.

“Hoosiers have waited more than a year to see this case resolved, and we believe the law is on our side as we head into what hopefully will be the final chapter of this story.”
