The state of Indiana will get a chance to convince the Indiana Supreme Court that Jeff Pelley's quadruple murder conviction should stand.

Someone killed Pelley's father, a minister, along with Jeff's stepmother and two stepsisters, at the family home in Lakeville back in 1989.

Prosecutors say Pelley killed them with a shotgun to avoid being grounded on prom night.

A jury agreed, and in July of 2006 convicted him of the murders.

But that was thrown out.

An appeals court said the trial should never have happened because the state didn't try him soon enough.

The Indiana attorney general appealed that ruling, and both sides will make their cases to the state's high court on August 14th.
