John Nunziata named Suffolk Commissioner of Jurors
The Suffolk County jury board has named John Nunziata as the new $116,113-a-year Suffolk commissioner of jurors to oversee the screening of 141,800 county residents annually for jury duty.
Nunziata, 47, a $92,996-a-year senior court clerk from Stony Brook, was elected Tuesday in a secret ballot by the board of Supreme and Surrogate court judges. Forty-six candidates applied for the post and Nunziata was chosen after presentations from the top five candidates. He begins work in the new post Thursday.
Nunziata has worked in the courts for 28 years. He began as a uniformed court officer in Queens, where he rose to the rank of sergeant before becoming senior court clerk in Kings County Family Court in Brooklyn. Nunziata began as a senior court clerk in Suffolk Supreme and County courts in 1999.
Nunziata is not affiliated with a political party, but was enrolled as a Conservative from 2010 to 2015. He replaces Conservative Lawrence Voigtsberger, who retired earlier this year after two years as commissioner of jurors.
