Especially for this Muslim female juror wearing a hijab to a murder trial in London…and used the hijab to hide an mp3 player to listen to during the trial. Not only was she thrown off the jury (which went on to convict the defendant), she was arrested for contempt of court, and could serve up to three years in prison if found guilty:
The woman had allegedly tried repeatedly to avoid jury service. She managed to postpone serving when she received her first summons and successfully avoided serving a second time by claiming to have toothache. On the third occasion she asked to be excused so that she could attend a nursing course but was obliged to serve when she failed to provide details.
Now watch for MPACUK to come up with some bulls**t excuse to sue the court system there. I’ll bet it will have something to do with observing calls to prayer.
