Juror number four, who had earlier raised concerns about being able to serve because he works third shift, had not responded to court officials on Monday. The judge has since replaced him with an alternate. Court officials said the juror could face jail time if he fails to reply to their attempts to contact him.
Despite the disruption, witness testimony, which began on Friday, is continuing on Monday.
Scott Brooks, co-owner of the beloved Brooks’ Sandwich House in NoDa, was shot and killed during an attempted robbery in 2019.
The case has drawn close attention from family, friends, and longtime customers who remember Brooks for his kindness and his role in the community.
Opening statements wrapped up last week after nearly two weeks of jury selection, and the court is now hearing from witnesses as the trial moves forward.
Queen City News will have continuing coverage of the Brooks Sandwich House murder trial, starting at 4 p.m. Monday and throughout the evening.
