Criminal Trial During COVID

criminal trial attorney Ann Arbor

Geherin Law Group Client J.P., who is accused of home invasion, has been waiting for a criminal trial in Detroit since March 2020--with no date in sight. Client J.Z., accused of aggravated assault, has been waiting for her jury trial in Saline for over a year. Meanwhile, clients in Lenawee and Livingston have had their cases begin and end with successful jury trials during the Covid era. In addition, several clients have had their cases dismissed by simply
setting their cases for trial.  

Dan Geherin, owner of the Geherin Law Group PLLC in Ann Arbor, is an ex-prosecutor and board-certified criminal trial attorney.  Dan has been a part of the criminal justice system in Michigan for 25 years. Dan and his team at GLG represent hundreds of clients charged with criminal offenses each year. Many of these clients are innocent or over-charged, so they have a constitutional right to have their cases go to trial.  

Every day, Dan takes calls from clients who are anxious and worried about their right to a trial; when they might have a trial; and whether that trial will be fair under the difficult circumstances.

Are criminal cases still going to trial during Covid?

Yes—but they’re few and far between. Generally, courts are giving trial priority to defendants who are in custody. But even those clients suffer delays, as the rise of infections and variations often result in juries being cancelled or postponed.
  For clients who are out on bond, they’re waiting months (and now years) to get their jury trials because they’re considered “low priority” by courts that are terribly backlogged.
