But what should be the punishment?
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

WHOEVER did it, they're sick and should be burned at the stake as was the way centuries ago but whatever happens to the person(s) who murdered those children, it will never bring them back.
RIP kids, such a tragic loss.

Quote from: nadger What surprised me was it was only a majority verdict.
While I agree, I'm not as surprised as you.
My own experience of sitting on a jury was; we were presented with a 100% guilty, caught red-handed sting type operation. We retired with the judge wanting a unanimous verdict.
It took us longer to elect a jury foreman than it did the five minutes to reach a 10 - 2 decision. We had, and this is the point of this post, one lady jury member who simply didn't want the process of what we were doing on her conscience and wouldn't have found Cripin guilty. She refused to participate in the short discussions and sat alone.
The other dissension was from a member with some legal training, who pointed out, correctly as it turned out, that the prosecution evidence was flawed, and predicted (again correctly) that the case would go to re-trail.
Within half-hour, we were taken back into court to be told that there had been much discussion in judges chambers and that we were being dismissed. We were apologised to and further told that our jury service was terminated.
The actual trial had been long and tedious as the evidence had to be translated into two different languages as well as English for both prosecution and defence lawyers. The hardest job on the jury was trying to stay awake. It did go to re-trial, but I've no idea what the outcome was.

Was Dr Crippen guilty? There is DNA evidence to suggest he was not guilty.

Quote from: journeys I’ve never been called for Jury Duty.
I've been called twice in fact, once as described above and once last year. I have one of the very few reasons to be excused (their term) jury service. In that Mrs P is totally disabled and as her sole carer jury service would be untenable for me as she needs almost 24 hour care.
My application for exclusion was accepted "this time" which I guess implies I could be called again before I'm seventy.
Failure to appear for jury service could entail you being charged with contempt of court and a summons being issued for your arrest.
