    Happy New Year to you too Peter, so you are not aware of any changes. Done jury service myself at the Old Bailey in the late 70's quite an eye opener. The first case my group was called up for had 7 young Black defendants and society had a different attitude then. The defence barristers can refuse potential jurors if they think that their client would not be treated impartially.

    A woman in her 60's, sitting next to me, carrying the Daily Mail got up and the shout came up "challenge", I sniggered to myself and the same barrister noted I was wearing a suit and tie came out with "and you too".
