MIDLAND, Texas — Midland County Judiciary has postponed all jury trials in 2020. According to a press release, the decision comes after a review of the current state of COVID-19 in Midland county.
The Judiciary is most concerned about its citizens safety and welfare at this moment. In the meantime, all trial proceedings will be dealt with through the Midland County Judiciary Second Emergency Order the press release says.
The city of Midland hopes to resume all jury trials in the beginning of 2021.
On top of the cancellations of jury trials, Midland County will send out summons to districts courts 142, 238, 385, and 441.
This will be dealt separately from the jury trials in early 2021, but remains an essential part of the criminal justice system Midland County says.
