You contest Jurors to ensure u get the result u want ie--ur man off the hook
In a rape case u will try to go for an all-male young jury--same for murder etc--some case u may want all catholic juries--depending on the crime and where the defendent is from--if hes a wee smicker from the west, u dont want some east belfast loyalist on the jury so u challenge it
Full back--Your best bet is to get a hospital or semi-important sounding doctors appt set- up--or a holiday--this will not fail--u will be called into court, everyone will be asked if for any reason anyone cannot attend, raise your hand, stand up and produce a dog-eared bit of paper about a doctors appt and u will be excused
Thing is u probably fit the profile the defence will look for in a juror so make ur appt sound plausible--no defence wants a weepy woman deciding whether or not their defedent battered a woman and stroked her favourite shoes or not! !
