Jury trials that were set to resume in Pitkin County next week have been postponed until the state moves the county back to Yellow level restrictions, according to a judge’s order issued last week.
And even when Yellow restrictions resume, judges here will still need to receive permission from the 9th Judicial District Chief Judge James Boyd to conduct jury trials, according to the order from Boyd.
Because of the order issued March 25, Pitkin County Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely postponed a jury trial in her court that was set to begin Thursday until June, according to Ely’s order filed Wednesday.
