Juror turns up at court in 21 today so judge lets her leave to enjoy her birthday

A juror was discharged four days into a child rape trial because she had booked a pampering session to mark her 21st birthday. She had earlier caused a commotion in the courtroom when she took her seat with glitter in her hair and wearing a sash saying ‘21 today’. Shortly after the trial resumed, Judge Ebraham Mooncey was passed a note from the juror informing him she had arranged a series of beauty appointments with friends the following day. He then agreed to release her and the case continued with the remaining five male and six female jurors Yesterday MPs and legal observers condemned the judge’s actions. Tory MP Dominic Raab called the incident ‘extraordinary’ and said the juror needed to understand that jury service is a civic responsibility and not a favour to be provided to the courts and public. The events unfolded towards the end of the defence case for a man accused of eight ‘historic’ charges of child rape. All 11 remaining jurors eventually found him guilty on six of the charges at Leicester Crown Court yesterday. He was remanded in custody and warned he faced a jail sentence. Judge Mooncey only became a circuit judge in 2009 and was based in Lincoln before moving to Leicester. Married with four children, he was born in Gujarat India and studied law at Kingston University. A legal source who knows the judge said he splits opinion among barristers, some of whom have questioned the speed of his appointment. The source added When he was a barrister some court officials would comment that he liked to play to the press benches and the public gallery with his opening remarks during trials.’ He added After court rose on the evening of Wednesday September 14, juror number two indicated that she had made arrangements, connected with her birthday, for Friday 16 something she had also indicated at the commencement of her jury service. The matter was dealt with as soon as all parties, including the defendant, were next present, on the morning of Thursday September 15. Following discussion with prosecution and defence representatives, it was agreed that juror number two would be discharged and the remaining 11 jurors would sit for longer on Friday if required. In the event, the jury retired on Friday and returned with unanimous verdicts that afternoon

Gay marriage to be made legal in Britain by 2015

The coalition is to push ahead with plans for gay marriage following the personal intervention of David Cameron.
Liberal Democrat Lynne Featherstone will today unveil plans to legislate to bring in gay marriage before 2015.
The Equalities Minister will also announce that Britain should be a ‘world leader for gay rights’.
At present, gays and lesbians are allowed to enter civil partnerships, which offer most of the legal protections of marriage. But the term ‘marriage’ is not used.
Miss Featherstone will announce that a consultation will begin next March on allowing homosexuals to get married. A change in the law will follow the consultation.
Under the plans, same-sex couples will be able to have full marriages in registry offices, as heterosexual couples can.
But they will still be barred from getting married in churches and other religious buildings even though some denominations want to offer the services. Coalition sources said ministers are determined to enact the change before the next election.
Under changes announced earlier this year, churches and other religious buildings will soon be able to host civil partnerships for the first time although they will not be forced to do so.
The new move will be announced by Miss Featherstone, a divorced mother of two daughters, in a speech to the Lib Dem party conference in Birmingham today.
‘Britain must not get complacent. We are a world leader for gay rights, but there is still more that we must do.
‘In March, this Government will begin a formal consultation on how to implement equal civil marriage for same sex couples.
‘And this would allow us to make any legislative changes necessary by the end of this Parliament..
A Number 10 source said: ‘He was very keen to press ahead on this. This is something that the Prime Minister has taken a strong personal interest in.’
Last night Ben Summerskill, chief executive of gay rights group Stonewall, said: ‘This change will make a difference to a number of gay people who are concerned at the differing status of civil partnerships and marriage.
‘But it will not apply to churches and it seems unfair as a matter of religious freedom that if some denominations such as the Quakers wish to celebrate same-sex marriages, they should be barred from doing so.’
Former Tory Cabinet Minister Lord Tebbit expressed concerns about the Government’s enthusiasm for gay marriage.
