Alabama governor justice reject proposals to resume jury trials
Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and Chief Justice Roy Moore clashed over restarting jury trials. Siegelman proposed a $500,000 emergency loan to restart trials. Moore urged the governor to provide $1.2 million from the emergency fund, saying that would rehire about 170 laid off court workers. Moore blamed the Legislature and Siegelman for funding shortfalls and noted the state received $13 million from Shell Oil settlement, but no money flowed to the courts.
