Who got paid, h5ringer? Jurors don't get paid, do they?

We get expenses, Gnomon, and public transport costs reimbursed.

I am grateful I was not on this jury (just concluded) http://www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk/Adam-Vincent-murder-trial-Victim-s-family-weep/story-14973179-detail/story.html it's a local man who was murdered and dismembered, body parts scattered all over our county. The trial has lasted 7 weeks, it was held in Sheffield.

I don't think jurors get anything in Ireland, although I could be wrong.

It's a daily allowance for lunch & drinks, I'm getting £5.71 a day for up to 10 hours, but it's more for longer than that, £12.17 a day.

If you are self-employed they cover your lost pay, (I think).

Oh joy

I've been discharged. Thank you to all my angels who kept me sane and safe on those Grimsby and all the rest

Well done, for doing your civic duty.

Well, did you find anyone guilty?

You got £5.71 for ten hours? That's scandalous. Good you've been discharged.

£5.71 for turning up, the rate went up after 10 hours (I was never there ten hours).

Yes, we found someone guilty.

"Yes, we found someone guilty."

Well, let's just hope it was the person in the dock and not some random person who happened to be walking through court

(sorry, couldn't resist the use of 'someone' like that!)

I'm happy to forget it all now. If I can...

Easily arranged
poof!
There, all done.

Hey, guess what? I bumped into one of the other jurors at my astronomy club on Wednesday night!
