Packer defensive lineman Johnny Jolly will face a jury trial May 21st in Texas stemming from his arrest for possession of codeine in July of 2008.

For months, Jolly has seen his court dates delayed while both sides built their cases.  Jolly is accused of possessing 200-grams of codeine and could face up to 20-years in prison on the charges though unlikely considering his clean record.
