Also, we have no idea whether jurors have minor children, disabled family members, or elderly family members they have to be there to take care of at certain times of day. I mean, being able to reliably get babysitters or respite any time you like would be wonderful, but that's not how the world works. It really wouldn't surprise me if a number of absences or early finishes were of the 'your child has a temperature and you must pick them up immediately' variety.I think that the short deliberation days are for the welfare of the members of the jury, who are in an incredibly stressful situation for no fault of their own
The juror being discharged at the end of deliberations for the day has me thinking they may be very, very close to verdicts on all charges. Otherwise, wouldn’t it make more sense to dismiss the juror before sending the rest in to deliberate?Surely there are not many scenarios where a Juror would be discharged at the end of a court day having deliberated.
I'm presuming "if" someone was pregnant they couldn't work past a certain date.
It does make me think a verdict not coming today though
