CANTON St. Lawrence County s jury pool is running out.
St. Lawrence County Legislator Bill Sheridan, R-Hammond, reported that to the legislature s Operations Committee during their Monday, Dec. 14 meeting.
Sheridan, the liaison to the St. Lawrence County Jury Board, said he learned that after a recent discussion with Judge Mary Farley, who chairs the Jury Board, and SLC Commissioner of Jurors Melissa Sweet. We are running out of jurors in St. Lawrence County, Sheridan told the county legislators.
He said the COVID-19 pandemic led to fewer jury trials in 2020, which he said has a positive effect on the county jury pool.
