In legal terms: A rehearing refers to conducting a hearing over again as if it were new. It may be granted based on the motion of one of the parties to a lawsuit, or criminal proceeding and must set forth certain legal requirements why the court should grant such a hearing.

At sentencing hearing can a jury reverse a guilty verdict?

What can be done at a rehearing depends on the purpose of the rehearing. I assume you are referring to a rehearing preceding sentencing. The judge does not overturn a guilty plea at a rehearing. The defendant requests to withdraw the guilty plea and the judge either allows it or does not allow it. Or the defendant can request to change his plea to Not Guilty at a rehearing.

Can a case be dismissed during a rehearing?

It would depend on the legislation of the country concerned.Additional AnswerA rehearing is no different than the initial hearing in that it is subject to the same rules governing dismissals as the first hearing.One example would be if a conviction were set aside by an appellate court because the trial court allowed evidence of a confession that should have been excluded. The appellate court would remand the case to the trial court for a rehearing or retrial. If the trial court felt the prosecution's case was insufficient to sustain a conviction absent the confession, it would dismiss the case on rehearing.Another example would be if a conviction or finding of civil liability were based on a statute later declared unconstitutional, the case would be remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with the declaration that the statue was void. On rehearing the court would dismiss the case.


What happens if you're not satisfied with the decision of the US Supreme Court?

You could appeal to the Supreme Court for a rehearing within 30 days of the decision, if you have new information or evidence to support your case; otherwise, the decision of the Court is final. In any given case, one side is satisfied and the other is not.

What are en banc hearings?

In the US, it is common for the various circuits of the Courts of Appeals to hear cases in three judge panels. Occasionally, when a majority of judges in a circuit wish to reconsider the judgment of a panel, the entire court will rehear the case "en banc." The rules for a rehearing en banc vary by circuit.


What is the time limit on filing a petition for a writ of certiorari?

A petition for a writ of certiorari is supposed to be filed within 90 days of judgment entered from the last court of appeal, per rule 13 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States. The justices have discretion to extend the time by as many as 60 days, but rarely grant this permission.Rule 13. Review on Certiorari: Time for PetitioningUnless otherwise provided by law, a petition for a writ of certiorari to review a judgment in any case, civil or crimi­nal, entered by a state court of last resort or a United States court of appeals (including the United States Court of Ap­peals for the Armed Forces) is timely when it is filed with the Clerk of this Court within 90 days after entry of the judgment. A petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of a judgment of a lower state court that is subject to discre­tionary review by the state court of last resort is timely when it is filed with the Clerk within 90 days after entry of the order denying discretionary review.The Clerk will not file any petition for a writ of certio­rari that is jurisdictionally out of time. See, e. g., 28 U. S. C. § 2101(c).The time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari runs from the date of entry of the judgment or order sought to be reviewed, and not from the issuance date of the mandate (or its equivalent under local practice). But if a petition for re­hearing is timely filed in the lower court by any party, or if the lower court appropriately entertains an untimely peti­tion for rehearing or sua sponte considers rehearing, the time to file the petition for a writ of certiorari for all parties (whether or not they requested rehearing or joined in the petition for rehearing) runs from the date of the denial of rehearing or, if rehearing is granted, the subsequent entry of judgment.A cross-petition for a writ of certiorari is timely when it is filed with the Clerk as provided in paragraphs 1, 3, and 5 of this Rule, or in Rule 12.5. However, a conditional cross­-petition (which except for Rule 12.5 would be untimely) will not be granted unless another party's timely petition for a writ of certiorari is granted.For good cause, a Justice may extend the time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari for a period not exceeding 60 days. An application to extend the time to file shall set out the basis for jurisdiction in this Court, identify the judgment sought to be reviewed, include a copy of the opinion and any order respecting rehearing, and set out specific reasons why an extension of time is justified. The application must be filed with the Clerk at least 10 days before the date the peti­tion is due, except in extraordinary circumstances. For the time and manner of presenting the application, see Rules 21, 22, 30, and 33.2. An application to extend the time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari is not favored.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
