I know I was a very young woman when I first sat on Jury Service, either 18 or 19, a very frightening and terrifying experience at that age; the worst thing was the lecture we had on what would happen if you were late for jury service; more frightening than actually being there, and possibly passing some sentence on some soul. I think I used to set off at about 6 a.m., and was horrified at the thought of being called to 'sit'. Thank heavens, subsequent late life pregnancies enabled me to 'not go' for jury service; I thought you were only ever called once; I've been called three times; my husband was quite willing to go in my place but never had the 'call'. Why not? Once was enough for me. Far too young in the first place. I really think 'they' should balance some age and experience in who they call for Jury Service, not teenagers who are terrified by the establishment, let alone by the ones they were possibly going to pass some judgement on, with neither experience nor skills to do so.
