Some Maine courts have pushed off jury trials and canceled in-person hearings as COVID-19 cases in Maine continue to surge.
The disruption is adding to a mounting backlog of criminal cases with a return to normal operations at least months away.
Courts shut down for all but emergency business in March, then moved most hearings to telephone and video platforms.
Over the summer, federal and state courts brought grand juries back, started to schedule some hearings and resumed walk-in arraignments. Augusta and Bangor even hosted jury trials this fall, and other courts had hoped to do so this month or next.
