A trial involving a rural Algona man has begun in Kossuth County Court at the Kossuth County Courthouse. The trial is the State of Iowa versus Jonathon Hanig on charges of Operating While Intoxicated Second Offense. Attorney Eldon Winkel represents the defense and Kossuth County Attorney Todd Holmes and Assistant County Attorney Jessica Reynolds represent the Prosecution. District Court Judge Don E.Courtney is hearing the trial. A 12 person jury with no requirement of gender balance or numbers was seated for the trial out of a pool of 20 people.
The Defense and the Prosecution both had four strikes in the jury selection process.
Kossuth County Assistant County Attorney Jessica Reynolds says a trial of this nature is not all that common in this region, and should take the better part of a couple days to reach conclusion.
Among those scheduled to testify in the trial is Kossuth County Sheriff`s Deputy Roger Fisher.
