    I suspect the juror who phrased the questions may not be the same as those who initiated the questions, if you get my drift....The fact that one juror asked whether they could reach a verdict based on a reason that was not presented in court and had no facts or evidence to support it either from the prosecution or defence is suggestive.

      I've been on jury service and I found it to be an eye-opener that confirmed my faith in the process.

      In both cases that I was involved with, the Judge gave a very clear summing up and made a very clear distinction about what we should and what we should not concern ourselves with. I was delightfully surprised and impressed. :ok:

        Yes, I read the article and the ten questions before I responded to your post. I think I might have asked some of the questions myself, had I been on the jury. There's no indication that the questions were asked by the same juror, nor that they were actually posed during the discussion in that form at all - they could have been questions formulated by the foreman (or woman) in response to general comments from some or all of the jurors.

          It is not stated in the BBC report how many jurors asked that.


          is suggestive.
          Of what?

            Anyone know how many jury trials took place today where the jury fully understood their role and were able to deliver a verdict?

                          everybody on this board seems to have a flash motor. Even the cyclists.

                          Which reminds me, has Mr Pee seen that vienna website, do you think?
