Am watching a new TV drama (ITV - England) about a jury. The jury are involved with a murder trial at the Old Bailey - I thought that only experienced jurors were summonsed to trials at the Old Bailey and that there would be no 'first-timers' on the jury. Am I correct?

To the best of my knowledge the system for summoning jurors in England is not selective, in other words anyone between the ages of 18 and 70 is liable to serve if and when called. The only exceptions are persons who are exempt for various reasons such as their employment, mental and physical condition etc. As the whole point of the selection process is to come up with a jury panel which represents the adult population at large there are bound to be some jurors who are serving for the first time on any jury.

Anon	In addition to the first answer. A person aged 65 years or over may decline jury service without giving a reason. Feb 25 02, 5:03 AM

The Old Bailey is no different to any other Court re jury summons. It's just that it is in London and that many famous trials have been held there. Feb 25 02, 2:12 PM

"Motel, money, murder, madness." Who am I quoting? If I am correct, I believe Pulp Fiction holds the records for most profanity using the F word many times, however which movies holds the record for most making out scenes, and I am talking about the general Hollywood mainstream PG-13 R movies you would see in theaters? How many jurors were dismissed during the course of O. J. Simpson's double murder trial? Asked before, but I can't find it again via the search function. What is the name of the music on the British TV advert for Bailey's and who is it by?
