DANVILLE, Va. – Danville Circuit Court Judge James Reynolds has issued fines and orders for the arrest of some potential jurors who didn’t show up for the trial of a man charged in a cab driver’s death.

The Danville Register & Bee reports Judge Reynolds fined two no-shows $50 and issued a capias for the arrest of two others who didn’t show last week or appear Monday to explain why.

On Aug. 16, Reynolds continued the murder trial for James Fultz IV, who’s charged with first-degree murder in the death of Wendy Harris, because the jury pool was too small.

Thirty-five potential jurors were needed, but only about 25 arrived by 9 a.m. A new trial date was set for December.

Fultz, who has reportedly confessed to the crime, continues to be held without bond.

Harris was found dead of stab wounds inside her cab on Gay Street in Danville. Fultz fled the scene but was arrested a short time later and charged with murder.
