Henderson Co. jury trials

Henderson County Superior Court - I'd like to request a list or record of all case numbers heard by a jury trial from Jan. 01, 2015 - present (or the date on which this query is processed). Please provide all records maintained by the Courthouse, not the AOC (Administrative Office of the Courts).

Editor’s Note: Sunshine Request makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.

**Editor’s Note: We’ve made several attempts to get in touch with the appropriate entity for the request and have called Henderson County Government twice to be connected with the appropriate email for the request. Recently, we called (828) 694-4100 on 12/20 (https://www.nccourts.gov/locations/henderson-county), and were advised by the clerk’s office there and told they do not do record requests through email.

Santiago, Assistant Clerk of Superior Court, please do so by “contacting the Records Administrator at the Administrative Office of the Courts. They should be able to provide you with a timetable and a cost estimate for compiling that information.”

    Good afternoon Joshua,

     

    Our apologies for the delayed reply, thank you very much for your assistance here. We just want to clarify though that you mentioned there are several requests for jury trials you’ve received from Sunshine Request, but as far as we’re aware there is only this one (Henderson Co. jury trials) that we have sent. If we’re missing something here and you’ve received some other request from us about jury trial info, please let us know!

     

    Thank you.
    Have a good evening!

    Good morning,

     

    Our office has received several requests for jury records via email from your company over the past several weeks. Unfortunately, jury records are not in a format that can be compiled into a public records request. An individual seeking information about jury trials would need to make specific requests for each case of interest.

     

    Please note that, pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 132-6.2(e), our agency is not required to compile records of this type.

     

    Our jury system is not designed to record specific case information, nor does it indicate whether a trial actually took place. Jurors are often released by the Court if a settlement is reached or there are no trials to hear. That system records the generic flag of “served” regardless of the jurors use.

     

    Our offices do record an initial jury request for Civil District, Civil Superior and Criminal Superior cases (and in very rare cases, special proceedings). We also record disposition of cases that utilized a jury in those same case types. Our systems also take jury disposition codes under certain circumstances. Unfortunately, this information does not include specific trial information (for example, if parties decided mid trial to settle or take a voluntary dismissal). Compilation of a dataset with this generic information is possible, however, it is outside of our abilities to do so.

     

    If you are interested in specialized datasets, I would recommend contacting the Records Administrator at the Administrative Office of the Courts. That individual should be able to provide you with a timetable and a cost estimate for compiling that information.

     

    If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me directly.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Kind Regards,
    Joshua H. Santiago

    Editor’s Note: Today we called the Clerk of Court’s Office in Henderson County. After getting connected to multiple parties, we finally reached the Clerk of Court’s Office and left a voicemail regarding this request and how we have yet to hear back. The recorded message said we should hear back in 3-5 business days. If we do, that update will be posted here.

    Hi Melissa,

     

    We called the clerk’s office to see if they could assist with getting a reply to the request and they mentioned that they may not do requests via email? Can you please confirms this, and also would it be possible to please send us a copy of the policy so that we can post it on our site to let the sender know how they should go about completing a request through Henderson County Government?

     

    Thank you!

    We received a request for information that may be available in your office back in September. We first emailed it to Lee King, the Register of Deeds for Henderson County. They informed us that jury trials were handled by the Henderson County Clerk of Superior Court and to contact Kim Gasperson. When attempting to contact her our email bounced back, and now we believe you are the correct person to contact. If this is incorrect, please let us know who we should contact instead.

    They are a State Office. I am not sure what her email address would be. We normally call them if we need them. You might try looking at nccourts.org, they might have a list of the court officers for our judicial district.
