Previously on "Facing jail, juror whose hijab hid an MP3 player"
You've came back fairly highly charged - you're sending sex vibes through the threads!!
(Best make sure you dont talk to AtW or Duder today - for the safety of everyone!)
I had to endure two weeks of jury service recently which was a complete waste of time.
The case was one of GBH (not a very interesting one at that) which really shouldn't have even gone to court.
This un-employed bint gets a murder trial, makes multiple excuses to avoid doing jury service and when she does finally get into court, brings her MP3 player with her.
If she was on the same jury as me, I probably would have throttled her.
"She had asked to be excused from serving shortly after the trial began and then asked for the court not to sit for a day so that she could attend a nursery nurse course.
When questioned, it emerged that the course was not essential and was conducted on the Internet.
The juror was allegedly listening to an MP3 player
The unemployed juror, from Bow in East London, was late for court so often that the judge ordered her to arrive 15 minutes early each day.
Lawyers were reportedly left wondering whether she was 'in a world of her own'.
Court staff became convinced she was doodling instead of reading documents submitted in evidence and, two weeks into the trial, the prosecution asked for Khanom to be discharged. "
