Courts face delays as case filings rise and trials decline
Iowa's 6th Judicial District including Linn and Johnson counties reports fewer criminal jury trials in 2012 amid budget cuts and resource limits. Prosecutions dropped from 18 to eight in Johnson and from 24 to 10 in Linn compared with prior years, with settlements often preferred to lengthy trials. Officials anticipate electronic filing to speed process but say more staff are still needed to manage growing caseloads.
