Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court considered a petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus and considered whether un-arraigned defendants can be held longer than 72 hours. The Court ruled that prolonged incarceration without proper court order violated the defendants due process rights. The Case is dismissed and the defendant is ordered released.
