Re: Jury Service
I was called for Jury service a couple of years ago.
I turned up at court and was shown into a room with about 30 people for a briefing.
We were give a talk about not discussing the case with anyone outside the jury room and that included in the loos where we might encounter family or friends of the accused. Because of parking difficulties I had decided to go to court by train and it wasn't until we had the briefing that I was made aware friends and family of the accused could be on the same train and recognise me which was slightly alarming.
We were then sent home and given a phone number to ring and a code word to say at a certain time every evening to see if we were required the following day. After two weeks if not required we could stand down.
I am happy to say I was not required.
