Day 4 in the naughty house was tense. 5 juries were listed for selection and I knew if I got one that would be my Friday snooker becoming a no go, and a second week of court time booked in.
It was more tense as one jury got called and two cases pleaded. Then out of nowhere we all got discharged never to return. Apparently it had been a mixed up week and they had not used as many jurers are they thought. With a new intake on Monday they could let us all go.
One scheduled trial starting next week may last three months. They will select a pool of 50 juries for that one and work through them until they have twelve who can sit that long.
If you have never seen the Hancock Half Hour - Twelve Angry Men, it still stands the test of time.

So that's it, no cases? I'm not regretting never having served now. Still, there's still time.
