Rolf Harris Trial Jury Questions
After 6 days, 2 hours ago the jury passed the judge a note with five questions about the case.
Here they are:
1) can we discuss the legal directions given, as there seems some confusion. A juror is making behavioural assumptions which is taken into account as evidence on many counts?
2) we are to judge each count independently, please clarify?
3) is it allowed to stereotype what the victim should have done prior to an alleged offence taking place in more than one count and using it against them?
4) as opposed to using patterns within counts to help an outcome of one count, surely it is non advisable to take evidence from one count in the future to judge the count in the here and now, NB counts three to nine, please clarify?
5) can the voracity of a witness statement in one count be taken into account when judging the voracity of a witness statement in another count?

No well done Jumbo - - - I think they troop in and ask the questions dont they ? and so it is in open court and can be reported. The only thing we cant do is discuss the case - here we are positing about the intelligence of the jurors...

From the Mirror website but Vicky Smith relays the info in real time from the court and the judge will direct reporters if any is sub judice.

here we are positing about the intelligence of the jurors...which isnt about the case m'lord
I quite liked voracity which I took at face value like one of the witnesses was like mad for it...
oh and the judge gets bad tempered if the jury read this crap
but as far as I can see -we can write it.
jury told not to go on the internet about the case....
On Oz news because of the international flavour of the digeridoo etc I suppose

Actually, although not very well put, these questions are not so daft as some are suggesting. This question:
http://
discussed the fairness (or otherwise) of cases with multiple charges. It seems the jury are confused about how much weight they can use from the evidence in (say) count one to help in their deliberations in (say) count 2. They are not lawyers and their confusion is somewhat understandable.
