After a man died last week following an April crash in Clay County, the driver accused of causing the wreck was back in court on Monday.

A “suspicious backpack” at the Clay County Courthouse that led to evacuations and road closures Tuesday was deemed safe, authorities said.

GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. – For the first time ever, the Clay County Courthouse selected a jury earlier this month after holding its jury duty qualification process exclusively online. Of the 400 residents tapped for jury duty, 342 showed up March 5 on Zoom, where the court narrowed its pool of prospective jurors down to 100. Hours later, the process resulted in a confirmed jury pool of 36 residents, and a jury of six jurors and one alternate was selected March 8. “As part of our state’s Safe Steps initiative, precautions still include regular courthouse cleaning, social distancing, mask wearing, hand washing and more,” Clay County Clerk of Court Tara S. Green said. If there is no plea deal or delay in that case, it would be the first in-person jury trial held in Clay County in a year.
