Needs to speak slower when reading court procedures and rules. He needs to remember that jurors are new to hearing procedures. Insist that all parties are ready at appointed hour. People would feel jury service worthwhile if it proceeded on schedule, but the process now penalizes the punctual. No one wants to waste their time.
Entire process needs to change to eliminate excessive waste of time for jurors, sitting and waiting.
Collective amount of time wasted by potential jurors is a crime in itself. I think that the whole jury duty system in Bethel needs to be improved but I am not certain that the judge is the ultimate control. They appear to waste a lot of time. I was impressed by the professionalism in Judge Curda's courtroom. I certainly hope that he continues to keep his respectful mannerism toward the people of this community as well as the whole delta.
