That haygirl was well said and if it always worked as a way out I would not have a problem with it.
But it does not, threats came my way as I first tried to get out of it, the second time was different.
A post above tells of the less than good way jurists are treated why? and for how long must only the jurors suffer such low pay?
My first panel years ago saw the name read out up 11 stairs inside a building.
One name was of a man I knew outside in his wheel chair.
He could not get help to enter the building.
No effort on my part could interrupt the calling of names.
So I walked out to tell other officials of his problem, nearly got fined for that but won in the end.

While I thought the thread had run it race todays new bought a question.
A Court case in Victoria reminded me of other reasons we may be better served by other than jury's.
6 dead teen agers one driver with a 4 year old child on his lap and suggested speeds of over 100klm an hour?
How many times have we each questioned a jury verdict?
Most of us have I am sure.
Yes we never heard the full evidence but what we know of the facts leads me to ask what do you have to do with a motor car for it to be manslaughter?
The driver was found guilty of dangerous driving not culpable driving.
