Superior Court Adjourned With Unfinished Business
The October term of Yakima county superior court adjourned after one of the court’s severest dockets. Judge Rigg will reconvene next Wednesday the 8th to take up motions for new trials and sentence those convicted at various charges. The bar praises his fair impartial rulings. County Clerk Day notes jury costs near 3000 dollars due to a new law requiring large juries for extended terms. The system, he says, may be an expensive luxury for Yakima county.
