Yep, I was also on a jury, in Scotland in a rape trial. Although unemployed at that time, I
was elected jury foreman by my fellow jurors. Though some of the female jurors were
eager to convict the accused, I managed to get them to change their minds. We gave a
verdict of 'not proven' in the end, which was an option under Scots law at that time,
maybe still so. The overriding reason was there was no medical evidence pointing to
rape.

Another reason was that the accuser had tried to defraud the social security in order to
obtain a double dole payment by claiming a lost postal dole cheque, which was later
presented at a post office. She had copped the blame for that one. So, she was a liar.

As for him, his previous convictions weren't revealed, coz of Scots law, before and during
our deliberations! That could have made us, the jurors, appear incompetent had he been
cautioned for rape or molestation before the alleged offence had purportedly taken
place.

However, we had reached the correct decision as after we gave our verdict, his previous
convictions were read out by the judge, and were only for car theft and driving while
banned. Nothing violent or sexual. He was acquitted of the rape charge, the only one the
trial was concerned with.

She had brought the rape charge in order to try to get a 500 pound rape compensation payment
from the government while he would have had to serve a 7 year jail term in all
likelihood. She screamed when I ,as jury foreman, gave the verdict of the jury! She got
no payment at all. I think she should have been tried for perjury and attempted fraud.
However, she wasn't arrested, and was allowed to leave unimpeded!

I wouldn't put it past you to have made all this up to please pigdog!
