[QUOTE="anthonyf218, post: 700310, member: 4515"] neil, ive done this twice, both at Liverpool crown court, once when i was 21 and the last time 2 years ago. Good couple of weeks, skive of early if ur not on a case. Company i work for just put it down as jury service and paid me normal pay (but i hear some companies arent so kind). Anway, the last time it was for some football hooligan from Portsmouth (not shooms :D ). Basically, Portsmouth where playing everton and two big gangs from either side kicked off big time around the Cavern Walk area. Anyway, it showed all the cctv footage where it was kickin off etc, and this lad from Portsmouth who was labelled the portsmouth ring leader, kept going back for more. Anyway, his two best mates from Portsmouth give witness statements for him bla bla, but no-one was having any of it, the lad was a complete cock, and he was found guilty. Goin into the jury room and arguing it all out with the other jurers was wicked, we couldnt make a unanimous decision after a full session so the judge declared we could have a split 10 - 2 decision. So we ended up goin back in and got it to 9 guilty, 3 against, so we ended up playing mind games on the weak jurer to get her to change her mind. Well good lol.:$ In the end she changed her mind and the lad got convicted. After he was found guilty the judge couldnt give a sentence ... cos he was due up on anoher charge. This is the mad bit... When i went back to work after the trial (in manchester) we had a set of telecoms contractors build some telecoms switches from Portsmouth. And i was managing the contractors. Anyway, when i got back i told them about the trial and it turned out they knew the lad and one of the witnesses was his best mate! So unbelievably right in front of me he got on his mobile to the witness and started tellin him one of the jurers was stood in front of him. laughin.:crazy: In the end, the lad told me that the convicted lad (im sure his name was something like Mark Hore, maybe shooms knows him?) was up on another charge of smugglin in £90k worth of resin from spain in a false floor of a transit van. I looked things up a while later on the crown court website and i think he got five years for that and 18 months for the case i was on, but both ran concurrently etc. But anyway, the odds of me being picked for jury service, then get that case, and then fo it to be for someone who connected those lads from portsmouth who i was managing ... are long :redneck: [/QUOTE]
