I don't see how cutting the jury makes much difference. Most of the time is taken up in the snails pace of every thing involved in the legal system. I recently had experience of this when an old mate of mine was trialled for a relatively minor crime. It took at least 5 court appearances and a 9 day trial. Everything took hours and hours and he'd pleaded guilty to most of it! Should have taken no more than a day. Sort out your team Captain H.

// The trail I went to managed 12 jurors all SDd. //
Good for you. But the fact remains that lots of other trials were delayed, cancelled and a backlog has built up.
Halving the number of people they have to socially distance means half work putting on trials.
Halving the jury also halves the risk of a covid outbreak at court. The pool of Jurors goes twice as far.
The idea isn’t new, they have been looking at reducing jurors for years. Now is the ideal time to do it.
A jury trial costs 10 times more than a magistrates trial and costs have spiralled in recent years. They have been looking at doing away with jury trials for some offences such as fraud, rape and libel.
