Jury Service

I am not sure I ought to be on the electoral roll in that case

 

You are more suited to rolling in the hay with Lottie. lol

 

hahahaha

 

do you really think there would even be juries if you were allowed to refuse?

 

Exactly.

 

I think there would - they would become Professional Jurors, earn a living from it and in turn regularity see prejudice of viewpoints which would lead to In-Justice - IMO

 

I am starting to see this as an act of charity or doing it for your country.

 

I think magistrates courts operate kind of this way.

Before Jurys, it was a very unfair system. You are randomly picked by a computer.

 

Why can't everyone just be good and everything will be all right!?

 

Oh if that would ever happen. lol

 

Yup. I believe in you all! Make it happen!

 

No Candy darlin' - there are no juries in a Magistrates Court - Both Dragon (my Mother) and my eldest Sister were Magistrates !!!

 

Yes, that is true, I was told I could now do that. I don't want to.

 

In Italy we have so-called 'popular judges' that take part in major trials side by side with professional magistrates. Once I was summoned and this office is paid, yet compulsory -not that the rule is actually enforced though. Had to show up along with a bunch of strangers at the local courts of justice, wait a solid hour, then we were admitted in the courtroom where a grouchy and disgruntled judge raffled a few names off the bunch and unceremoniously dismissed the lot of us.

 

You have to be sponsored by an existing Magistrate Candy darlin'.

 

That is SO annoying.

 

I know that Vlad. Like I said I was asked.

 

Dragon had some 'very juicy' cases. Police raided a 'sex shop' and confiscated all this material. She plus a couple of colleagues had review all these magazines and videos to determine whether they could 'deprave' anyone. She was reviewing all this material for weeks !!!

 

Glad I said no. lol
