Jury Service: Day 8
Maybe his mum blew the money down the Bingo!!!
Wednesday turned out to be a more interesting day in court, with quite a few comedy moments (think stereotypical East-end types). Thankfully the we got through the rest of the interview transcript in about half an hour, then the jury was sent down to the canteen for about 30 minutes as the barristers discussed a point of law with the judge. After a little bit more evidence, we were sent away for a long lunch. Two of us met up with some other jurors who were waiting to be called for another trial, and the four of us wandered across the road to the pub (just the one Guinness — trying to be responsible).
The defence began their case this afternoon, which proved to be very interesting, if not exactly conclusive either way. A few more comedy moments, one of which had the whole court laughing (including judge and both advocates). Anyway, we finished at about 4.15pm, with only the closing arguments and the judge’s summing up left for tomorrow. So it looks like we may be deliberating in the jury room by lunchtime.
