I thought I might be able to leave it till the end of the week, but I got sworn into a jury this afternoon!
Just thought I'd let you know that it's rather fun.
Of course I can't tell you what case I'm on, if they find out I'll be held in contempt of court and fined or imprisoned, can't really afford either!
The psychologist in me is having a field day. It's so much fun watching people in court, their movements and their voice tone.
The criminologist is also having a great time. The pre- and mis-conceptions that people have come out in the waiting room. It made me laugh inside when my dissertation topic came up and I wanted to argue it out, but we only had a two minute break.
The judge is fantastic, sitting on his rather big bench and over seeing everything. He apologised to the members of the jury for being late, not any one else in court.
The politeness of the lawyers to each other.
And of course the many comparisons made to The Bill and other such programmes.
I love the public, they are humorous.
