Jury in Joseph Oberhansley's murder trial to come from St. Joseph County
Jury selection is expected to start Feb. and last three days.


October 16, 2019

"SOUTHERN INDIANA — More than a month after a mistrial was called in a five-year-old Clark County murder case and a new jury unable to be seated due to pretrial publicity, attorneys have chosen a new county to select jurors for Joseph Oberhansley's case.

On Feb. 2, state and defense attorneys are expected to restart jury selection in the case in St. Joseph County, a northwestern Indiana county that's home to South Bend. As with the first jury selection, attorneys hope to get 12 jurors and four alternates, with the process taking about three days, Clark County court staff confirmed....

Court staff confirmed 300 prospective jurors are expected to be in the new selection pool.

Oberhansley is represented by Brent Westerfeld, Bart Betteau and Nick Karaffa."

I'm going to post this for reference later, so I can shorten it up a bit.

Wednesday, Sept. 4th:
*Trial begins with Jury Selection (Day 1) (@ 9am ET) – IN – Tammy Jo Blanton (46) (Sept. 11, 2014, Jeffersonville) – *Joseph A. Oberhansley (33) arrested (9/11/14) & charged (9/15/14) with murder, burglary & rape. Plead not guilty. Held without bond. DA seeks DP. DA has taken DP off the table (6/28/19).
Trial set to begin 9/4/19 with jury selection. Jury selection was cancelled & trial stopped. New trial starts with jury selection on 2/2/20.
Previous trial started 8/19/19. Jury was picked from Hamilton County, trial will be held in Clark County. 12 jurors, 3 alternates. Jury was be sequestered. 8/22/19: Judge grants defense motion for mistrial after one of State’s witnesses mention Oberhansley’s prior criminal past & drug use.

Clark County had pulled in jurors from Hamilton County. Clark County Prosecutor Jeremy Mull said the jury selection will begin Sept. 4. That means opening statements could be heard as early as Sept. 6. But the defense filed a motion late Monday, 8/26 so that the next jury would be selected from a different county due to the publicity of the trial. If that motion is approved, that date could be pushed back. The jury will be sequestered.
8/28/19 Update: Motion for Change of Venue from Hamilton County denied.
9/4/19 Day 1-Jury Selection: 225 people were called for this next round, 75 each day for the next three days. For today’s group, of the 75 – there are 19 late deferrals and 6 no shows. So that brings their total to 50 potential jurors today. Then all the jurors, except the 16 in the jury box, will be removed from the courtroom. Carmichael said that way both sides can question the panel without tainting the rest of the potential jurors. Once they get through one round of 16, they’ll bring the next 16 in. Jury updated: one of the no shows is on his way, and one of the late deferrals showed up anyway. So the pool is now up to 52. We’re being told we could start around 10am now. Judge told the jurors that they will be brought to Clark County, and sequestered for the entire trial. In the first 15 minutes, three jurors have been dismissed because they’ve heard something in the news, said they’ve formed an opinion, and wouldn’t be able to be fair. Of the first 16 that say they’ve heard about the case— the judge has already dismissed 8. A total of nine have been dismissed. Four have been saved to be questioned more later. Lunch break. Back from break & the defense is filing a motion to stop this jury selection right now & start over in a different county. The argument is with how many jurors being eliminated so quickly, the pool will run dry before they can seat 12 & 4 alternates. Judge Carmichael is granting the motion. So the jury selection will start over in a completely different county, resetting the date for sometime in January or February 2020. The judge brought in all the jurors left and let them all know they have been released. Judge will set a pretrial conference to decide a new county from which to select a jury. No date yet for pretrial hearing. DA Mull is hoping a jury could be selected in the coming weeks, but if that does not happen, he said the trial would likely begin next year. The trial is expected to last anywhere from two to three weeks, and during that time jurors would be sequestered in Clark County."
10/15/19 Update: On Feb. 2, state and defense attorneys are expected to restart jury selection in the case in St. Joseph County. attorneys hope to get 12 jurors and four alternates, with the process taking about three days. Court staff confirmed 300 prospective jurors are expected to be in the new selection pool.

@Tippy Lynn - can ask for your help on this case? I would like to know IF he has anything on the court site for any hearings. I have him as having a trial on 2/2 - but that is a Sunday - and also he has been ruled incompetent to stand trial. Unfortunately I can't access Indiana court site anymore... TIA!

Oberhansley headed to state mental hospital after delay

May 14, 2020

INDIANA — A man awaiting trial for the 2014 murder and rape of his ex-girlfriend will be sent to a state hospital for competency restoration, after a two-month wait due to COVID-19.

A transport order was issued Tuesday directing the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to transport Joseph Oberhansley to Logansport State Mental Hospital by 10 a.m. May 18. He’s charged with killing and dismembering 46-year-old Tammy Jo Blanton at her home in Jeffersonville.

Date set for Joseph Oberhansley's murder trial

May 21, 2020

"JEFFERSONVILLE — A new date has been set for the murder trial of Joseph Oberhansley, in anticipation of his competency restoration....

...He’s scheduled to go to trial at 9 a.m. Sept. 8 in Clark County Circuit Court No. 4, according to recently updated online court records....

Although initially a death penalty case, the Clark County prosecutor withdrew his plan to pursue that last year after Oberhansley himself petitioned the judge to withdraw his insanity defense, against the advice of his attorneys. The judge granted his request.

Oberhansley has a pretrial conference set for June 25 via Zoom."
