Weasel out of this caper ?? What excuse did you use

Asking for a friend

 

[Stivino]

I weaseled out. I phoned them up and told them I had a conviction. They didn't ask anything after that, the guy just said ok and I heard no more about it.

Asking for a friend

Not unless you have a valid reason or are exempt. I've been asked 4 times (groan). The other two times I was exempt due to the short time period after doing it previously. Even heavily pregnant moms, disabled etc have to do it.

I have but only because I'm my wife's carer.

I was a 21 year old college student and my finals were imminent. Never heard since then. 1978.

I’d go in a shot, I have the time. I’d find them guilty though, stands to reason, they wouldn’t be there otherwise, would they? Case closed. Send him down. Next!

Unfortunately, they can't fill the jury box, full of retired pensioners.

You need to convince eleven others that the evidence given in court (and subsequently reviewed afterwards, for hours in the jury room), is enough to convict. Any shred of doubt - not guilty.

I’ve only retired from my own training business.

I’d take my scaffold pole. That'd convince 'em.

My wife has ben called up several times. Its probably because she is on top of the household list showing on the electoral register (its in alphabetical order) I've offered to go in her place but they were not interested.

Why even the need for a jury then ?

Maybe there's a bit more to it.
