Jury service

[Ric.ror]

Can you volunteer for it?

[granny grump]

I was foreman and we had a unanimous not guilty in first case and unable to agree for second. A drugs case and a wounding both very interesting but I always yawn a lot if I have to sit still and just listen - not good

Oh Lore, we weren't allowed out with the defendant's family at lunchtime, if we wanted to go outside, we had an area of our own!..........

Twice I got stared out, second time was as we were being sworn in, I looked again just to see if he was still staring and he was and I thought "Ok mate, if that`s how you want to play the game...Guilty"

In fairness, you are given really good guidance before you enter court, and believe me , you need it!.............some of the defendants are scary!.............

I can see how that could worry some people. My biggest worry was walking in and it being someone I knew through work. :o/

Loren, you have to let the judge know if you know them, either that or keep shtuum and bribe them ;o)

[starone]

I know canary, which is why I said I would not be any good. I am too old now, in any case, but was called when I was younger. Fortunately the two cases I was picked for were very easy and so my bias did not matter.

Dotty, you don't become exempt when you have a criminal record, only if you have been to prison. I have very old criminal convictions but I still served on the jury.

[Lore]

Lol, I would have said something. I'm brave like that :p

[Jemisa]

Excuse me using your thread Ric.

Dotty how did you get on in court today with your speeding thingy.?
