I've served on a jury once, covered just under two weeks, although much of that was being on standby for a second trial which I eventually wasn't required for. I remember the first day I turned up in the morning and didn't get into the court room until late afternoon. There had been some issues transporting the defendant across from the West country (I think he objected in some way). I think it went over the next couple of days before we were asked to give the verdict, initially most of us were in favour of pleading guilty whilst a couple thought the evidence was insufficient. After a good half hour discussion we all converged on the guilty verdict and after I gave it, the prosecution rattled off a list of other offences, can't remember if they were past crimes or past accusations. We were all satisfied we had delivered the correct verdict.
