Jury selection in the trial of former Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels is slated to begin Monday.
As News4JAX has been covering this case, a few reasons for the delays included new charges being added and witnesses having to be deposed later than scheduled.
State Attorney Melissa Nelson recused her office because of a conflict of interest, so the Fifth Circuit State Attorney’s Office from Ocala is handling the case after being appointed as an independent prosecutor by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The trial will be held in Clay County but will be presided over by St. Johns County Judge R. Lee Smith, as all Clay County judges also recused themselves from the case.. Only his attorneys had been present in court previously for the hearings.
The judge told both sides during the hearing that jury selection will begin Sept. 12, and he expects testimony to begin the next day. The Clay County Clerk of Courts told News4JAX that the jury will be chosen from Clay County residents., but during the hearing earlier this month, the prosecutor said there was no offer from the state, which means whatever plea negotiations were taking place didn’t go anywhere.
Daniels acknowledged in court earlier this month that if convicted of the felonies, he could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.
