ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Following a statewide cancellation of all jury trials, the Dougherty County court system has canceled all jury trials slated for the first of the new year.
Dougherty County was set to resume jury trials in January 2021.
However, Harold Melton, chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, issued a statewide judicial emergency order that suspended all jury trials in Georgia “at least until February,” Dougherty County officials said in a release. The order was because of a “disturbing spread’ of COVID-19, officials said.
