Precautions in place for juries’ safety

96.3/WGOG land remains under watches and warnings, and precautions are in place at the Oconee Courthouse in Walhalla—where two jury trials are underway. Clerk of Court Beverly Whitfield announced this morning that in the event of severe weather, the Common Pleas and General Sessions juries will be evacuated from the courthouse third and fourth floors and moved into the courthouse basement, for safety purposes.
