Last week we welcomed Fourth Judicial Circuit Judge Adrian Soud to our meeting when he brought us up to date with the current operations at the Duval County courthouse. A lot has changed since we had public defender, Charlie Cofer, last month. For example; because of COVID, up until October 5th, nobody was granted a right to a speedy trial. Because that deadline has now passed, the system is starting to work on catching up on a “first-in first-to-trial basis”. |
|
The judge also discussed the use of Zoom in hearings and the importance of picking a qualified jury for trials during this time with a limited jury pool. He also touched on how well the sheriff and JSO corrections have dealt with inmates and the process for quarantining an inmate when one tests positive for Covid-19.
I hope to see everyone this week when the base commander for NAS Jax will be joining us. Bring a guest and get them signed up in order to qualify for the membership drive. Remember, parking is free and the food is really good.

Join us for our monthly Golf Outing at The Golf Club at North Hampton!
The Golf Club at North Hampton offers a traditional Scottish links-style course in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the layout meanders through dramatic elevation changes of over 40 feet and ten spring-fed lakes lined with coquina boulders. Sprawled across rolling hills and wild grasses, the golf course is sculpted from beautiful Florida woodlands, offering a round that is as scenic as it is challenging.
