People who 'don't want to get involved' are out - this is the time for the people you can rely on to be counted . We got several 'official' people to give written references (these weren't used in court but were good to have so that his legal team knew who they were defending), then drew a list up of other possible witnesses and in the end the solicitor decided.
Don't forget... whoever appears in court for him will be questioned by your barrister and the prosecution barrister, and the whole thing can be quite nerve-wracking. Someone who's half-hearted or reluctant may not stand up to questionning very well.
As for the jury - 8 women/4 men of mixed ages, they seemed to be very discerning, asked pertinant questions and we even got smiles from a couple of them when the unanimous N/G verdict was given.
