Modern trials can be far too complex,or boring for the average person in the street.
The jury worked well before the industrial revolution,time to update things a bit. |

This is what I did to avoid Jury Duty for 57 years (now, of course, I'm ineligible).
I used to agree with enthusiasm but explain that, no matter what the evidence, I would vote Not Guilty since I did not consider myself in a position to judge another human being.
They always decided I was not suitable. Of course, if I said I'd vote GUILTY they would have had me like a shot! |

This why I don't vote I don't want to go on jury duty I would have to drag it long as possible to get more pay. And I can't be bothered hearing evidence as the important evidence is not heard in court. |

Why couldn't they have carried on with 11 jurors? Because you'll eventually have no jurors. Nobody really likes Jury duty do they? And a premature Happy Hogmany to both JK and IA. The English never get it right! (its next Saturday x). |

You make demands on people many do not want,then punish them when they try to wriggle out of it.
Easy to forget jury service is compulsory,and not easy to avoid.Add into the mix one immature messed up young lad...and then you mess him and his family up even more!
