just curious as to how they pick people to do it. Does anyone know how? I have not ever done it at all,

How many people off here have?

 

Electoral Register matey......

 

dont know how they pick who does it. my dad had a letter saying he was doing it but he got out of it cause he was self employed then 2 weeks later i got the same letter was only 18 at the time

 

I wasn't eligable

Think I might be now though as they have changed the law now?

 

me! was a good laugh
did it when i was a student though would not like to do it while working as wouldnt get anywhere near my pay

 

I'd love to do it

 

Me done it, got called up, got there, sat around for 3 days doing fook all, then case dismissed and sent home
Never been so bored in my whle life

Suppose would be good if you got a interesting case, knowing my luck if I ever got called up again I'd get some essex chav who got caught selling green stuff

I was called for Jury Duty and ended up in court for over a week on a Hand Gun case, I found it interesting

 

I'm lucky enough to see it from the other side as my job

But if I didn't have my knowledge I'd find it very interesting.. but confusing too! Crown Court is like a theatre, with everybody playing a part. Or am i just rambling shit

 

ive had to do it twice now!!!

 

You can't (or couldn't) do it if you had ever been convicted of anything, IIRC that included traffic issues at one stage. And I think cautioned on certain items like Drugs, firearms etc.

Did it in 99. As said above spent the first 6 days doing nothing, just bought loads of magazines and newspapers. They had the world cup Rugby on as well, and Im no Rugby fan

Case was of a Jamacian Kindergarten teacher who'd been stopped with some Cocaine in her bag. Turns out her Boyfriend had got this bag for her "as a present" but it had concealed pockets full of it.

We aquited her on a majority verdict. 11-1 I think As she clearly had no clue she was being stitched up. She was deported anyway as she never officially cleared customs., 1 of the older guys on the Jury kept saying that she must be guilty because she was Black and from Jamacia "where there are drugs everywhere"

We had to keep explaining that Croydon's not known for being drug free. Numpty

 

I wasn't eligable due to my job (just so yuo know I'm not a con ), and for 10 years after, as I'd probably know people there. But now its all changed.
