The right to trial by jury is guaranteed by the United States Constitution as well as the Constitution of the State of West Virginia. It is the right to have the facts in a controversy determined by a verdict of impartial jurors acting under the direction of a judge. It is an honor to serve on a jury and a responsibility which you should accept with pride.
COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION: Previously, a common problem concerning victims of crime was that they were not informed about the status of a criminal case, dates of hearings, or how the case was to be handled in the court system. The Victim Services Division was created to keep victims informed. The Victim Services Coordinators will give notice of all court hearing dates, trial dates, and possible plea agreements.
Domestic Violence is a pattern of coercive behavior used to maintain power and control in a relationship. This abuse can be physical, sexual, or emotional. Besides your relatives, a "relationship" can include anyone you currently live with, have lived with in the past, or anyone you are or used to be intimately involved with.
