Jury trials resume in Chatham County By Sean Evans | April 5, 2021 at 6:56 AM EDT - Updated April 5 at 12:51 PM
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - For the first time since last March, a criminal trial will be held at the Chatham County Courthouse.
Starting Monday, April 5, the trial involving a deadly shooting case from 2016 will begin.
It’s an important step for the community to move these cases through the judicial process. And even before the pandemic, there was a backlog of cases. So, now, with the trial process resuming, although not at the pre-pandemic pace just yet, the district attorney’s office will work toward chipping away at that caseload.
