I can tell you all about this as I’ve not actually become a juror in a case yet… Read on…<\/p>\n
Well, I can sum things up with a description one of the other potential jurors said..<\/p>\n
It’s like a game of snakes and ladders.
\n<\/i>
\nWell, what he was talking about was the way that no-one seems to get to the
\npoint where they become a juror. Lots of people get to a certain point up
\nthe board before the bit reset button happens and you’re back to stage one
\nagain, sitting pergatory awaiting the call for higher things.<\/p>\n
My case in point today was sitting around until 10:30 when I was told, along
\nwith 14 other people that I’d been picked for a trial in court 3 this afternoon
\nand that I could go awya and come back at 13:45. That all sounded promising.<\/p>\n
At 1:45 I sit down, read my book again. 2:30, the court usher for court 3
\ncomes in and says that “as you all know already, the jury for court 3 has
\nbeen changed and some of you have been told you can go home. ” At which point
\nthere was a general reply of “Oh no we haven’t.” At which point the usher
\nappologies and says that she’d been told that we’d been informed just after
\n2pm and she’d find out what was going on.<\/p>\n
Anyway, at about 2:50 one of the court officers comes in and appologies and
\nsays that those who were picked this morning can all go home as we’re not
\nneeded, other than 4 volunteers which are needed for stand-by. Three silly
\npeople volunteer and another is volunteered… I go.<\/p>\n
Exciting, eh?<\/p>\n
Well, I’ve finished the first book. I’ll find another to take tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
