Judicial Interpretations And Protections

Summary

Judicial interpretations in criminal law must adhere to constitutional protections, such as the prohibition against ex post facto laws. This means courts cannot apply new laws or interpretations retroactively to actions that occurred before the law or interpretation was established. Indiana House Bill 1334 (2025) is not yet in effect, but any new law or interpretation must respect these principles.
