Strange exemption

10:00am Thursday 10th May 2012 in Letters

UNLIKE Judge Mary Jane Mowat, I should not have recognised pop star Lee Ryan, nor had I heard of the group Blue.

According to your article (May 3), though, this gentleman was excused jury service because he had ridden horses in the past.

I was aware of exemptions on grounds of profession, age, illness, a recent criminal record, etc, but had never encountered this one, which will undoubtedly be of considerable interest to many people.

Are there any other surprising ones which have hitherto escaped my attention?

Read the article properly instead of typing this inane waffle. He was excused because he knew the Judge.
Not because he had ridden horses.
Lots of things escape your attention like who Blue are.
