Jury Service

[FoxLee2]

Has anyone been called for jury service and able to give me firsthand info. on what it is like? I have to attend for jury service at nearby Crown Court in a couple of weeks - I'm nearly 65 and this will be a first time for me. I've been a stay at home wife/mum for 40 years and fill my days with chores, gardening, sometimes looking after grandson and I'm feeling anxious as to how I'll cope with just sitting for hours and listening to people talking. I hope I'm able to concentrate for that length of time without my mind wandering or, worse, starting to nod off!! Also worry about needing the loo in the middle of a session.

I made my mind up within ten minutes of hearing the case

2 black youths stabbing 2 white youths and then claiming the white youths "ran into the knives whilst they were holding them to warn them off"

I`m suprised it took over 2 weeks of court time and 3 days deliberation find these animals guilty, albeit of the lesser charge, and that`s only because 3 of the jury members were yoghurt knitters
