MOULTRIE, Ga. â Colquitt County Superior Court plans to hold its first jury trials since the coronavirus pandemic began more than a year ago.
Three trials are scheduled for next week, with jury selection for all three on Monday.
Jurors are to report by 9:30 a.m. Monday to the Colquitt County Annex on the corner of Central Avenue and First Street Northeast. Staff will direct some to the courtroom on the bottom floor and others to the county commissioners meeting room on the second floor, according to Deputy Clerk of Superior Court Wilma Hadley. Splitting the jurors between the two large rooms will allow them to socially distance in accordance with CDC guidelines.
