Can't read or write English? You could still serve on a jury under new rules designed to help immigrants

Jurors who cannot read English are being invited  to decide the outcome of criminal trials.

Inability to understand the written language is no bar to serving on a jury, officials said.

Even those who cannot easily understand the spoken word could be asked to sit in judgment on those accused of crime.

The 200,000 people a year called for jury service are now all summoned with letters printed in seven languages as well as English to ‘encourage’ non-English speakers, it said.

Sadly, most people get off jury service. Only the knuckle draggers get involved.

Never been asked. I think I'd be good at it.
