Jury service Selection

What are your views on jury service and the way they decide on a persons life.
How can this be fair that anyone over 18 can stand on a jury even if they are thick cannot spell etc at least they could put 12 intelligent people on a jury not people who cannot understand basic concepts. We need to see an end to jury service it is only an expressed opinion regarding the prosecutions theory and it is a know fact that people can be wrong in their opinions.

I am a serving jury member at Kingston Crown Court surrey and like you I think the selection method is a disgrace.

On my jury there are four immature girls and three like minded boys. (Average Age 18)

There was for a short time an alcoholic (Drunk on duty) but he got discharged leaving four adults and the immature.

I happen to sit next to one of the boys and apart from him having problems sitting still when the trial is in progress, he spends most of his time drawing silly pictures and passing them to the immature idiot next to him.

On the jury break periods the seven immatures topic of conversation are Sweets / Latest Batman and Robin Film / Nania / Fantasia etc.

There are three defendants in the dock who are blissfully unaware that judgment against them is determined by "Bat Man and Robin" fans?

I rest my case Mi lord!

Have you thought of reporting your concerns to the jury officer or court usher? An innocent man or woman could be sent to prison by this lackadaisical bunch.
