Without wanting to be pedantic, I believe this constitutes grounds for a mistrial. The accused is entitled to a jury that works to the best of its abilities.
Actually the chap who was chosen as foreman probably did a better job than I would have done, so it all worked out for the best.
I am suggesting that it is an outrage that you did not lead this jury.
What is the world coming to?
Younger chap did it. Possibly fresh from university. Charming fellow. I set him up to stand and deliver the verdict, then I told everyone the result we would deliver
