Jury Service

Jury Service

Can u get out of it?

My high standing in society has preceded me and my summer plans are in tatters.

Instead of chillin at Kanya I could be spending UPTO 200 DAYS in Crown Court


FUCK THAT

Re: Jury Service

Wait until the day of the trial and say you know the defendant.

They can't question how or why and always have reserve jurors ready.

Re: Re: Jury Service

Then again, if he does, he could enjoy those 200 hours

Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

Or spend six-weeks locked in a hotel with days watching hard-core kiddie porn and listening to traumatised children sob their way through evidence.

My pal covered the Peter Voisey bath-snatch trial - not a laugh-a-minute and she is a former social worker.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

I'd imagine you can say no to watching kiddie porn though..

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

Not if it's part of the evidence, no. Otherwise how could you make a decision on a person's guilt or otherwise?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

id love jury service

fucking rights


NOT COZ OF THE KIDDIE PORN!

just being abl 2 ruin sum1's life and the free food

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

Yeah but presuming you didn't expect to have any evidence like that, does some muscley bloke grab you and force you to watch naked kids? Surely you can refuse to do the service.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

I'm sure the judicial service would love you too JIMI.

Sometimes they let you wear their wigs if you ask nice.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

You don't know what the case is until the day of the trial to prevent any possible prejudice.

Refusal for service has to be made before the trial commences IMO - usually on grounds of ill health etc, unless like I said, you realise you know the defendant.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jury Service

That sucks. Remind me to stay clear.

Don't register to vote, get locked up, join the armed forces, or get yourself sectioned.

Also, Jehovah's Witness have a get-out clause.

Combine the above to become a mad, convict, Lance-Corporal God-botherer and you're quids in.

jury service is fucking boring, do what jane says or tell them ur self employed and will loose too much money

but im sure you will have a criminal record, that void's your registration straight away

if you do get roped in, take a decent book/ipod etc, coz between trials you cant leave the building until designated times.

mackem cunt

so if you have holidays booked is it tough??

i'd hate to do it, would be gash.

I agree with trance_fan it would be gash, especially with Gene Hackman on your back all the time, digging up dirty secrets about your past and that.

If I ever end up in court, knowing that there are no jehovahs witnesses on the jury will be hugely comforting.

Pretend to be racist ala Peter Griffin. "Yup, awful lot of honkies here"
