Title: Wow! I never knew this.

In a murder trial, you would expect the jury to be paying attention to the evidence. In Jeremy’s case he was convicted on a 10-2 majority verdict, he only needed one more juror to vote not guilty to be acquitted. Below shows concerns that a juror was asleep during proceedings!

Or would it have meant a hung Jury, requiring a subsequent re- trial.

I have seen reports of this in a post but have never seen this evidence before. If you search juror asleep you will find 12 references

So, it doesn't say he was asleep, even Rivlin didn't think he was asleep!

If he was nodding off only thing I could think would happen is a severe bollocking from the judge

It doesn't say he was nodding off or asleep and even Bambers lawyer didn't think he was.

It is but it seems the story changed from a juror closing his eyes now and again, to he was definitely asleep. It doesn't seem like that was the case at all.
