She didn’t ask to be juror, she is a victim of a sytem she clearly doesn’t understand. What do expect if you put people that haven’t got a clue in positions of responsibility? If it shows anything it’s that the British justice system doesn’t work.
And how the hell are people supposed to learn about social responsibility? She will have had the laws and the consequences of breaking those laws explained, as does every juror.
It sounds to me like she’s typical of the lower class scum that have such a lack of respect for any sort of authority that they’ll rebel against it no matter what. She probably felt that she identified with the accused, indeed, I suspect she was in awe of this ‘glamorous’, exciting character.
A clear message needs sending out to preserve the legal system. It’s hardly rocket science. If this helps restore respect in the judicial system, a system that allows the common man to have a say, then it’s a good thing.
I never thought I’d hear myself saying it, but Fred speaks sense. Where did you copy that from? 😉
