Despite COVID restrictions, court cases are still moving forward at the Washington County Courthouse.
Several cases, including those of Kendall Richards and Devin Lindsey, were completed this year, with others extending into the new year.
“Ones that are more complicated are being continued,” said Washington County Prosecutor Nicole Coil. “A lot was not (completed) because trials ceased after March and we’ve had one trial since then. There hasn’t been much since COVID.”
She said they’ve tried to keep cases moving forward and when possible, reach pleas, but all attorneys are very concerned and hesitant to hold trials in COVID circumstances.
