The official Cork court report thread.

I stand to be corrected, but I've heard that used before. I think you submit it to the DCC or courts admin. If they don't play ball just turn up at the selection and make some statement that makes you out to be a loon. They'll dismiss you........or, God forbid, use you. Lol.

Haha that's what went through my head alright.

Like if you turn up and before things have even kicked off start saying "he's guilty, he's fucking guilty!" surely you're not fit for the role
 
Why is he having a breakdown?

He's just very nervous about it.

I would be as well, I took myself off the register years ago to avoid ever being called up. Both my mum and late grandmother had to do it, but not me thank the lord.

Some people probably love the experience, but I'd be shitting myself that some fella or his family would come after me if I sent him down. If I had my way all courts would be like the Special Criminal Court, just let a judge do their job instead of dragging ordinary people into it.

I think you vastly overestimate the ability and reach of the average criminal!

Jury trials are one of the cornerstones of democracy. Otherwise the judiciary would have too much power.
