Douglas County District Court Sets Jury Trial Schedule
Criminal jury trials in Douglas County District Court will resume Nov. 2 according to a recent order issued by Presiding Judge Horacio J. Wheelock.
The trial schedule will be limited due to precautions taken because of COVID-19, with only a handful of cases being heard each week.
Judge Wheelock also issued a scheduling order for a limited number of criminal jury trials for December 2020 through February 2021, with civil jury trials slated to restart in February.
“The Court finds that having additional trial dates for criminal and civil cases during the months of December 2020, January 2021, and February 2021 would be impossible due to the ongoing social distancing restrictions for the public,” the order states.
Jury selection for civil cases will be held in the Douglas County Annex Building, which is undergoing renovations, which are scheduled to be finished by the end of the year.
