Oh well that's OK EM, it's just the bank robbers who need to be punished LOL

I would love to be on the Bayden-Clay case woohoo that would be fun.

About 40 years ago I was called several times in a short space of time for jury duty but my OH was in the Navy so away a lot and I had 2 small children and no one to look after them.  I applied for exemption at the time and have never been called since, despite being willing and able to do it now.

Az on the lawlink site it is telling our panel to check again Tuesday after 4.30p.m. so it looks like I may not even get to go. They also say we go onto a list and may be called again at a later date.

It will depend on the case, when they are ready to choose jurors. I was a fairly high number and was called second week.

We would only be allocated a number once we were called, I was looking forward to lunch at the pub LOL Actually I was concerned about the Court list, there are 2 people I know of, on the list, I don't know them personally as such, but know of them and know their background, so had I been called for their hearing I would have had to be excused.

It's a very big responsibility determining whether someone committed a crime or not. You have a person's freedom in your hands.

The minute detail that is gone into is mind numbingly boring and can be distressing. Years later I still feel sickened by 12 pages of discussion regarding the small discharge stain in a **bleep** victim's underwear; did it mean she was aroused and wanted intercourse to occur. Apparently not as the man was convicted but it had to be brought up anyway.

I was allocated a number in my letter of notification............Jury Panel Q number 81. That was how I knew if I was needed?
