Imagine being a juror on this one... (apols for the link, if you want to read on)

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-73-year-old-mothers-head-knife-scissors.html

A woman decapitated her 73-year-old mother with a knife and scissors before removing her brain and kissing it in front of a family friend, a court heard today.

Odessa Tammy Carey, 36, is accused of beating her mother to death at her home in Ashington, Northumberland, before performing the grisly act.

Odessa Carey, 36, beat her mother, also called Odessa Carey, to death at her home then used a knife and scissors to cut off her head, cut a cross shape into her abdomen and removed her brain, it has been claimed.

Newcastle Crown Court heard today that the killer daughter carried the severed head around in a carrier bag and brought it out and kissed it in front of a family friend.

The 73-year-old's headless corpse was found on her bed and her brain was in the bathroom at her home in Ashington, Northumberland. Mrs Carey's head was found at a separate address, in a cupboard under the sink, at a house where Carey Jr was found hiding in the loft.

I’m sure there will be mitigating circumstances if they look hard enough. Suspended sentence

In the past I'd been curious about juror and quite fancied being called up for jury service. Then a friend told me about how they had jury service on a case where a child was abducted, raped and killed. They had to sit through graphic depictions of it, photos of the crime scene and corpse etc. Ever since then I've been less keen to do jury service!

Its luck of the draw to an extent, in that respect. I was lucky in that the three cases I sat on a couple of years ago was a charge of affray, assault/attempted robbery, and a GBH. No children involved, nothing too gruesome or overly serious, just a few serial lowlifes. Fascinating to see and be involved in the judiciary process though (from the 'right side' of the bench, anyway).

There is a LOT of waiting around though...

I did jury service and found it really interesting. My heart did sink when told it was a sexual assault case but it wasn't a particularly severe case compared to what it could have been.

You'd be unlucky to get a horrible case, but obviously somebody has to. An ex-colleague got a case where 4 guys jumped out of a car and beat a sleeping homeless guy with a car jack, totally unprovoked. It was captured on CCTV. The thing that got him was how 4 people decided to do that just for fun.

This.

A lot of waiting in many cases.

Managed to get out of a second call due to a pre-booked holiday and they never came back to ask for an alternative date. After the tedium of my first time I'm certainly glad I missed out doing it twice. Nothing against doing my civic duty but it's not as glamourous as many people think.

I might need to double check this, but I'm pretty sure the brain isn't found in the abdomen.

I had to sit on a case where a father (now in his 70s) had been accused of all kinds of acts against his two daughters. It wasn't a grizzly affair, just their words against his but that was enough, I couldn't imagine sitting through something terrible like that.
