Why Didn't I Think Of That?
In the annuls of excuses to get out of jury duty, this one takes the cake.
A judge abandoned a blackmail trial - because of a smelly juror.Gotta remember that for my next jury summons.
Two other jurors complained during an adjournment about a colleague's "personal hygiene".
When the hearing resumed at Gloucester Crown Court, Judge Carole Hagen told barristers - in the absence of the jury - that a B.O. problem had arisen.
