Yes, in 2016 at Hove. I got lucky and served as a juror in two, week long trials - one an alleged sexual assault and the other alleged GBH by two young men in a Sussex town. By an incredible bit of luck, 11 of us served together on both juries (out of a jury room of 40 odd candidates each...

Stokes live in a vast £1.7m mansion. The last owner, some bloke called Adam Johnson. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/15386828.Cricket_star_moves_into_Adam_Johnson_s_luxury_County_Durham_mansion/

Strangely a free-for-all of opinions on guilt or non-guilt here, whereas Ched Evans and Glenn Murray threads were carefully policed.
