I was on jury service few year back was on a very complex long case I will not because I'm not allowed as there are still parts of the case unresolved and still parts of the case that will be going to court..

When we got sworn in the authorities made it very clear about being late non showered etc I'm sure you friend will have been read the same riot act

LOL she will enjoy that.

I don't think there is any problem discussing cases once the verdict has been delivered and appeals over otherwise papers could not report them could they. we get chapter and verse from the press.

From the government website re jury service.

"4. Discussing the trial

Don’t discuss the case with anyone, except other jury members in the jury deliberation room.

Even when the trial’s over you mustn’t discuss the case, even with family members."

Put it this way.

You're on the jury for a case. Defendant found guilty. You shout your mouth off that you were one of the 12. Defendant has some nasty friends who come round and torch your house/attack your family/assault you.

Now do you see why talking about a case even after it's conclusion isn't wise?

That could happen anyway, when I was on jury service and we used to break for lunch I regularly walked past the defendants friends and family on way to café, so they had an opportunity to confront me then or follow anyone of us to our homes so its irrelevant if we discussed after as it could happen during

When I was on jury service one of the defendants lived in the same town as my boyfriend. We had a long distance relationship and spent alternate weekends there and here. The judge told me which trains I was permitted to take to go see my boyfriend and also ordered that I was not to go out to and pubs in the town for my own safety.

Can be quite intimidating for violent cases I assume luckily mine wasn't

Jurors are employed to make a decision based on the case and evidence at the time.

The media reports on the outcomes and trial - they don't have input into the decision to find guilty/not guilty.

The rules are the rules. What would discussing a case after a decision is made achieve? Do you not think that apart from the points already mentioned it shows a lack of respect for fellow jurors and a complete lack of discretion?

"Maybe contempt of court. "

Im giving up now as people are taking this far to serious it was meant as a discussion about funny happenings not case specifics, contempt of court?

Unless advised by the judge how is this the case, newspapers print most things which happen are they in contempt, no.

Members of the public can sit in court and listen to the whole case if it wasn't allowed couts would be held behind closed doors, some are but that is to protect witnesess and jurors but only in a few cases.

for every day run of the mill cases it get discussed and reported on freely.

you only have to listen to the daily news on TV reporters inform us of what has been said and by whom and this is when the case is in progress.

Any way enough now bacon sarnie time

We had a separate café for when I was on Jury duty BUT we all had to use the same entrance to the courts and passed the families of the people up in court so it seemed pointless having separate cafes.

The last time I did jury service we had a lady who was late 3 times and one day just didnt turn up. The judge was really pissed off and sent the police to get her ,she got arrested and hauled to court, we never saw her again but all involved agreed to carry on with just 11 of us rather than a costly re trial. Tell your friend dont be late, they dont take too kindly to it

Up here its Contempt of Court and the Judge or Sheriff will usually issue a warrant for the arrest of whoever has gone AWOL.

I was on jury service a few weeks back. One lady was late first morning. Heard her say, she was called into judges chambers. Did not say what was said to her but she looked very shocked and was not late again.

I did jury service a couple of years ago but never got a case. It was just a boring week of drinking tea and reading magazines, until they decided to send you home. Got to have a week off work though and was sent home early some days so i enjoyed it, lol.
