Vegasmags ... Technically but as a juror I will still have to decide guilty or not. I have no faith in the legal profession nor the police force so how can I possibly know the truth and make a fair and honest decision?

I don't know if I will have to do jury service at some point.
I was called 4 times when I lived in London and I got called again in Birmingham.
I phoned and said I thought this was a bit unreasonable as some people never get called.
They did say I could be called once every 2 years but they have deferred it.

Mollie - it won't be you who stands in judgment - that's the role of the judge, not the juror!

I've been called for jury service and really don't want to do it. I know I'm obliged to but I don't want to stand in judgement of anyone. Do I have any hope of being excused?
