Rumpole And the Primrose Path
Rumpole And the Primrose Path
“It’s a random collection of disparate individuals, and may include a Telegraph-reading accountant, a well-meaning sociology teacher who started the day with organic muesli and the Guardian, a jobbing builder who would like to see the Black Cap put on at the end of murder trials, a Sikh minicab driver, a trouser-suited businesswoman with the Financial Times, a hair stylist from a unisex hairdressing salon whose jeans seem in constant danger of sliding off her narrow hips, and a worried grandmoth...er. Often these apparently predictable types can spring surprising verdicts. The muesli-eating teacher may believe that prison works, and the builder may be a stickler for the presumption of innocence.
Their verdicts may be unpredictable, but the experienced Old Bailey hack can usually identify his friends and spot his enemies. The friendly juror often smiles at him first thing in the morning, smiles, at least, at his jokes, and even shows signs of impatience when the hack’s flow is interrupted by an unsympathetic Judge.MoreLess
