Due to the sharp increase in COVID-19 cases in Siskiyou County and throughout the state, including Siskiyou, jury cases at the Siskiyou County Court will be delayed until January, at least.
Judge Karen Dixon had hoped cases would resume this month.
The tentative plan is now to begin the jury trial of Michael Lee Wilson on Jan. 11. Wilson is accused of attempted murder in a stabbing in Mount Shasta in July of 2019.
Siskiyou County district attorney Kirk Andrus said he understands the reasons for the delay. “From our perspective it just isn’t safe for jurors to gather and congregate at this time due to the COVID classification we are under,” he said.
