A SENIOR judge has invited the public to look at the cretins and halfwits on the average jury and ask if they would like to be judged by them.
Sir Brian Leveson suggests the next time British citizens are on the bus, they should decide if they would prefer 12 of their fellow passengers to have the power to imprison them forever or one person who knew what they were doing.
He continued: “A group of your peers? Have you met them?
“It would be alright if it was a group of my peers because they’re actual peers, but you’d hand your fate to that bloke ordering Subway for breakfast? The girl picking her nose at traffic lights? The Northern Line frotterers?
“They’re all in the mix and they’ll be puzzling over your case, missing details, deciding key witnesses are ‘scruffy’, addled by a lifetime of true crime and asking where the migrant was who really did it.
“I’m there anyway, gently guiding them through, and I know for f**king sure who’s guilty. And I can tell which twats on the jury I’ll be seeing in the dock soon enough.”
Nathan Muir of Hereford said: “Yeah but the thing is I reckon if I was called for jury service I’d be brilliant.”
