Jurors who failed to report for duty

Some 100 Oconee County residents who failed to comply with a jury summons this afternoon can expect to get a call from the Sheriff’s Office. Judge Cordell Maddox made the announcement in the Oconee Common Common Pleas Court in Walhalla, after finding out that only 71 members of a 175-member jury pool were seated in the courtroom by this afternoon’s 2 o’clock reporting time. Maddox thanked those jury pool members who showed up. About those who did not, he said, “They are going to have to explain why.”
