you gartta larf
did you see the beeb hack taking about Prince Andrew to the new York lawyer and saying - "o o we must be careful not to discuss the case and prejudice fings" as tho it made any difference in the US - dozy moo!

in the land of the free - they do it different
including asking jurors post verdict
freedom of speech thing

and a juror told the Maxwell jury he had been abused
christ - you are meant even there to try the case on the facts and not what happened to you

Bit of a drama queen.
I would have thought the questionnaire or subsequent Jury screening would eliminate characters like this.
Perhaps a clever move by the defence to get him onto the jury.

It should have done Spicerack. There must be a lot of people and their families sick to the pit of their stomachs at the thought of having to go through all that again when they thought it was all over at last.
It happens. It would appear from what is being said there is little course but to go for a retrial.
Not sure it matters.
It must have happened in the past, that the juror to a theft might have in been burgled. Because they have personal knowledge of being a victim of a crime should not make you unsuitable as a Juror.

Jurors should be banned from cases if they have been convicted perpetrators of a crime, not if they have been the victims.
Gromit, so ypu don't think that this juror might have been prejudiced?
As I understand it from listening to an American trial lawyer on LBC this morning, it’s not that he had suffered abuse, but that he perjured himself by answering ‘No’ to the question during jury selection whether he had suffered abuse, used his experience to influence other jury members and said as much on TV.

The American lawyer said the fact the presiding judge ordered the appointment of a lawyer for this man is a strong indication it will be declared a miss-trial.
thank you DD

I thought the rather obvious grounds of appeal were that they considered point ( a juror abused) that hadnt been pleaded
and they should have excluded ....

another has come forward - if they were questioned about this and said no and now yes ( a bit like an Aber huh) then they may file charges - against him ( them, those two)

Pennsylvania Penn that one, and Ponting, you just have to lump it ( in law in London )
