Dallas County’s Frank Crowley Courthouse this week will hold regular jury trials for the first time since March 2020 when they were paused in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s been hard. And, I’d like to say my colleagues and I have done our best to make sure the wheels of justice didn’t grind to a halt, but we have people that are sitting in jail waiting for their day in court,” said Judge Stephanie Huff, the presiding judge over jury services.

Over the last year, victims have seen justice put on hold, while defendants unable to make bond have languished in jail.
