Jury Service ***!

[bennyblanco]

I was called ten years ago and booked two weeks off work unpaid, I was only used for three mornings before being sent home when I was not chosen for the trial jury. But I couldn't go back to work as we had allocated work in mind of me being off so it turned into a couple of weeks catching specimen chub on the Cam (and beer)

 

I would love to be called again and do a trial this time and would actually happily do it as a full time job if it were possible, we got to see a plea bargaining on the 1st day in which a squaddie had kicked the **** out of a huge south african in a sleazy Cambridge nightclub. Seeing the posh wig wearing toffs say things like "you knocked my client to the ground where you stood upon his neck calling him a ****" was excellent fun.

I deferedm the first time but was called again 2 months later ,was interesting but very long as the case i sat on lasted 3 bloody weeks and had 7 days sat talking after to reach a verdict but it was a good case of armed robbery with alsorts of odd things plus the main man had gone on the run

 

Do it its interesting

I think i'd like to do jury service for the experience after reading this thread,but i think my biggest hinderence is i can sleep standing up so would need a particulary exciting case to stimulate my brain!

 

Im soooooo with you on that one!!!!!
