The Oregon Supreme Court heard argument on Wednesday on a case that wasn't on its docket the week before. The question presented was, if the defendant is in custody on an indictment for, say, 59 days, and the state reindicts the defendant on the exact same charges, is the state entitled to another 60 days before the defendant is released?
