That's not really the killer defence he thinks it is. What's the likely/maximum sentence here? Summary court so probably a fine bit of probation maybe suspended sentence I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 59 minutes ago, thommo2010 said: Unless you're stupid enough to do it in front of the courts or other people then how will you get caught? Usually by other jurors reporting you for breaking the rules. Here's a case from last May where the juror was jailed for six months. Of course if you don't mention what you know in the jury room, it's not going to have much effect on the verdict, so there's not much point in doing it.

Predictable given Mr. Heading's following. Though to be fair, most comments on most IOM Newspapers' stories are bonkers. Usually from the same, rather limited number of posters, making the same rather limited comments. I genuinely don't know why they bother to allow comments at all as it just makes it look like their readership is comprised of a tiny number of obsessives. To make things worse, in the last few months they've started allowing comments on court case reports. Which has gone exactly as you would expect, with possibly libellous comments directed against all those involved: accused, victims witnesses, lawyers, judges, the reporter and newspaper for publishing it and so on. At least in the Heading case comments have now been removed as they have finally twigged that the best way to report the prosecution for harassment of someone using social media is not to encourage harassing comments on social media. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
