And thanks to my colleague's jury service this week I am now 350 quid better off in overtime.

Yay!

I couldn't do it. I could never pronounce someone guilty. There's always a possibility of mistake. Thus my verdict would always be not guilty. I could email it in, without even attending.

I've been doing Jury Service since 23rd April, and I'm still not finished. What a case. Drugs. Argh. When will this torture end? It was interesting enough for the first few weeks, but the last month has been like Groundhog Day. Please let it end soon.

It's criminal isn't it, the way they waste people's time

Supposed length of jury service: 10 working days
Actual length: 25 days.
Days required to attend court: 26
Number of days spent at least partly in a courtroom: Actual Length minus breaks and deliberations, so it'll probably be about 20 days.

Number of interesting trials attended: 1
Total amount of time spent in court: Actual Length plus the first day
Shortest amount of time spent in court in one day: 4 hours
Total amount of time spent deliberating in jury room: 16 hours

My value to society over the last fortnight: absolutely no idea. comments have been a mix of: 'hope you made the right decision' to 'putting the baddies away these days, are we?'

and what is it with using the word 'juicy' to describe a case. i just don't get it!
