Jury trials could resume in the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit in March By James Giles | February 23, 2021 at 6:33 PM EST - Updated February 23 at 7:23 PM
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - It has been a little over a year since a jury trial was held in the Chattahoochee Valley.
The pause was brought on by the impact of the coronavirus. Now, court could be back in session for the Chattahoochee Valleyâs more serious cases sooner, rather than later.
A back log of cases have accumulated, resulting in many cases being at a stand still for now. However, Superior Court Chief Judge Gil McBride says the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit is hoping to pick back up in the next few weeks if it receives the green light from Georgiaâs chief justice, which seems very likely.
