Oh indeed. Evidence as presented in court.
Not what you might find by Googling. ;-)

Are you admitting to having taken such steps?

Of course not. But it seems some may do.

We know some have because some jurys have
been discharged because that has happened.

My point being that we hope and expect that jurors won't be intimidated
by others on that jury. But some think it is the norm on an industrial
action ballot. Just the same people can be on both.

On the jury are 11 others you've never met before and are unlikely to
see again after the case is concluded. A different situation I venture
to suggest.

On all the separate jury service I've done, I've always
known at least one other juror in the pool, if only by sight.

Doesn’t mean that they are likely to put a brick thru your window
or torch your car if you don’t vote the way they want you to tho.

Since in London at least they tend to get drawn from
the same area(s), but used in a court a long way off.

But to carry on with the original theme, are you saying a voter at a
'hands up' ballot is going to be intimidated by someone he knows?

Corse they can with the worst of the most rabid unions,
particularly with very small communitys like coal mines.
