Famous quotes containing the word jury:

    “Write that down,” the King said to the jury, and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    So the Snark found the verdict, although as it owned,
    It was spent with the toils of the day:
    When it said the word ‘GUILTY!’ the Jury all groaned,
    And some of them fainted away.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.
    Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
