Kendall County DUI Attorney and the Jury Process

You have been unable to obtain a disposition to your DUI case that you can accept, what alternatives are there? You have three options. The first option is to open plead (blind plea) the case before a judge. The second alternative is to waive a jury trial and have the judge be the trier of fact. The last option is to have a jury trial. What will occur in court when you request a jury trial?

On the day of your trial, the circuit clerk's office will summon 40 to 50 people for jury duty. The potential jurors will arrive and watch a short movie concerning the court system and the jury process. After the movie, the jurors will be brought to your courtroom. The judge will introduce the prosecutor, your attorney, you and the courtroom personnel to the jury. The clerk will randomly call jurors to the jury box. For Further informtion, contact your Kendall County DUI Attorney.
