...and in Scotland too. Before we were allowed to go after the trial I sat on (attempted murder, a fascinating insight into the whole process (the legal process that is, not the attempted murder process!!)), we were strongly reminded of that fact, and the consequences of doing so. Everything we had in the jury room relevant to the trial (notes, handouts, statements etc) were removed and shredded. Some of us went for a beer afterwards and realised we could no longer talk about it, even amongst ourselves!
If we do ever find out what the jury thought in this case, someone has broken the law.
