I've never been called up, what's it like? I would imagine it depends on the case, one that has guns, drugs, villains and general stupidity (the main reason why offenders get caught)
If the case had all those ingredients, then I might be interested.
Jury Service
Re: Jury Service
It all depends.
First time I got called I waited 4 days in the jury room.(where you all go first day and wait to get called to a case)
Then I got a rissing football star on a gbh charge.
Second and third time was murder( said in a taggart style)
When you get called theres no guarante youll get on a jury as they always call more than is needed in case one of the accused dont like the look of you.
If you get in keep a note of the judge,some are very old and when the barristers are agueing a toss over some minor point of nothing the judge sometimes looks like hes fallen asleep.but then the old git will stop them and go back to a point from about an hour ago and you think fuck me hes been taking all that in and hes remembered a fine point that the others have missed.they got sharp minds these fuckers.
then when you get sent off to reach a verdict you get locked in a room for hower long it takes.
