A JURY in a criminal trial has been discharged because a juror said she could not meet her financial obligations after her boss refused to pay her salary while she was on the case.
Last month, a juror in a case that ran for more than 20 weeks told the judge he had been sacked during the trial.
In a letter to the Herald in September, a juror in a four-month trial wrote: "Changes in workplace laws and practice mean people are suffering because of their absence from the workplace. In my particular jury, a number are in a position of losing their jobs, while one has missed a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime promotion. I have lost innumerable job opportunities and interview prospects."
