I've done it, and took it very seriously - part of your civic duty and that.
It knocked my faith in the system a little bit as there were so many LIMP WRISTED TWATS on the jury, Fred West would have walked free, had a couple of stronger voices not been there to nudge them along.
It was a bit like this;
[Me]; Right we've got to make a decision. Are we all agreed that they are guilty?
[Student type]. Yes, definitely. Everyone else?
[Everyone else]; Yes, for sure.
[Stupid old woman]; I say definitely, and I'm sure they did it, but what IF they didn't?
[Me]; But they did. We are all agreed on that. the evidence is totally watertight.
[SOW]; I realise that, and like I say, I'm sure they did.
[Student Type]; Good.
[SOW]; But what if they didn't.
[Me]; Shall we go over it all again?
[SOW]; If you don't mind. I'd hate to get it wrong. Imagine if you were their Mums.
[MILF]; She has a point. Imagine if we got it wrong.
[Student]; Okay let's start again.
3 hours later, having read over EVERY page of notes again, all 12 are agreed that the 3 accussed are all guilty as sin [of kicking 7 bells of shit out of a pair of young lads on a night out].
[Student]; Right, having gone over it all, what do we all think?
[Me]; Still guilty. 100%
[MILF] Guilty
[Doddery Old Man]; Guilty
[Man who looked EXACTLY like the guy who played 'Shelley' in the 70's]Guilty
[MILF2]; Yes. Guilty
[Space Cadet]; Guilty
[Retired Sargeant-Major type]; Absolutely.
[3 others who I can't recall at all]; guilty
[SOW]; The two big ones, they are definitely guilty. I'm not so sure about the small chap though.
[Me]; Why?
[SOW]; He looks so smart and presentable up there, and so worried about it all.
[Student]; Well he would wouldn't he?
[SOW]; And his old headmaster spoke up for him, too, and said what a good boy he was.
[Me]; he was a family freind. Whats he going to say?
[SOW]; Well he wouldn't lie under oath would he?
[Me]; He's not lying. I'm sure whenever he's seen him at sensible family gatherings he's as good as gold. When he's roaming the streets of Basingstoke after 12 pints of Stella his behaviour might be a little different.
[SOW] Don't patronise me.
[MILF] He isn't. he's right too.
ONE HOUR LATER...
[SOW]; I accept he did it. I'm not happy about it though.
[Me]; For goodness sake. It doesn't work like that. Either you're comfortable with the decision or not.
[SOW]; I don't know what to think.
[Retired SM]; Shall we have a break?
[MILF] Good idea.
[SOW] Do you think we should?......
2 HOURS LATER...
[Me] So, are we ready to tell them that we've made a decsion?
[Everyone]; Yes
[SOW]; What is our decision?
[Me]; that they are guilty?
[SOW]; Are they?
etc, etc, etc.........................
[Only after you've announced your decision, and the judge has declared them [guilty - in this case] do they read the list of their past offences. Every one of the little shites had at lest three previous assault convictions!]

So seriously in fact, that you decided to post a transcript of extremely confidential jury converations on a public forum.
Yes. It was all very specific and incriminating wasn't it?
