Following more than a year of stalled jury trials, Douglas County began holding in-person jury trials at the county fairgrounds last week.
Chief Judge James McCabria issued a statement on March 18 about his decision to utilize the fairgrounds and resume in-person jury trials.
âWeâve consulted with all of the stakeholders, weâve sought guidance from health experts throughout the pandemic, and we are confident that whether a trial occurs at the judicial center or at the fairgrounds, this district is fully capable of resuming this important function for the community,â McCabria said in the statement.
McCabriaâs decision to resume in-person jury trials stemmed from the recent decrease in weekly COVID-19 cases in Douglas County. By using the fairgrounds, up to 30 potential jurors can be screened at a time, and safe distances can be provided, according to the statement.
