miko_supra Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 My friend had to go to court a couple of years a go as a member of the Jury for a murder trial. He's written about it on his blog, which is a damn good read. http://mystupidbloodyblog.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just develop Tourette's, that'll get you CUNT out of it. I'd love to do a bit of Jury Service. A nice little libel case lasting a few months would suit me just fine. Better than working 12 hour shift in that sweatshop they call our office. Sadly, I'm not eligible for Jury Service though, for reasons I won't go into. Willy.

deathmonkey Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 That was a fantastic read. I quite happily zipped through that. Quite an insight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Interesting read. I've always fancied doing jury service (just as one of life's experiences, I don't have any ambitions to be the next Rumpole of the Bailey or anything like that), but I've never been called up. The linked newspaper article at the end is typical of the gutter press. If the story isn't juicy enough (and they rarely are), they'll put a spin on it which borders on lying.

tbourner Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 As the great Homer Simpson once said, just say you have prejudice against all races Are you allowed to say you're extremely racist? Would they stop you doing it? Is it illegal to be racist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 What is this case? Weren't we told that most of them last a week or two? This is a month. Is it something serious? And what the fuck am I wearing?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
