The latest numbers are in. As of August 4, 2010, nearly three thousand cases have been consolidated in Minnesota’s consolidated source code challenge. A total of 3,830 are attempting to consolidate according to Christina LeClaire from the Minnesota Courts.
The number of cases will continue to climb as long as some police departments insist on using the beleaguered machine. I predict 5,000 cases will be at issue before the court makes its ruling. I estimate the court will be unable to make its ruling until 2011.
