DETROIT – Wayne County’s Third Circuit Court is continuing to ensure the health and safety of jurors, judicial stakeholders, court users, and the public. Two jury trials were successfully conducted in the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice. However, the rising number of positive COVID-19 cases necessitates that the Court once again stop jury trials, bench trials, and evidentiary hearings. As the numbers are on an upward spiral, it is clear that it would not be safe to continue jury trials, bench trials, and evidentiary hearings at this time,” Judge Kenny explained. The Court will continue hearing other matters remotely via Zoom, and jury trials and other in-person trials and evidentiary hearings are expected to resume starting Jan. 6, 2021.
