Would you trust a jury with your life?

I voted no but fuck it I'd gamble in this case. If my life circumstances changed and it was even slightly riskier I'd be out.

I'd do it and pay whatever it cost for the absolute best defence lawyer money can buy.

In all seriousness if this was a murder case that could end up costing more than £1m

Most people would have to run ridiculously bad to not have an alibi with at least one witness.

Given this and DNA evidence which is surely left at virtually all murder scenes you must be a huge price to be convicted.  Then you got the 2nd out of an appeal.  I would be in balls deep for a millball.

I would rather die than serve a proper life sentence behind bars though so would be less likely to do it if it involved a life in prisonment.  I wouldn't want that downside of the gamble.

So virtually no chance of it happening, but you won't risk it?

My lifestyle is worth more than 1 million you couldn't lock me away for 5 years for a million never mind the rest of my naturel

No dancing no women no booze no poker friends and family on ration
A week in hospital has me climbing walls
You can stick you million where sun don't shine

Correct a 1% chance of being locked up for 50 years potentially in a prison and dying there is not worth the upside of £1m imo of course.  I personally would be willing to do it if i suffered the death penalty instead.  Much less suffering than a 50 year prison term with no chance of release.

But a 1 in 100 chance of dying is fine?

Would a million make your life 100 times better?

EV wise we're serving 6 months in prison for £990,000

I have no wife/kids to think about and i would be willing to take that gamble for £1m.  I don't expect most people would agree with me.  I couldn't think of anything worse in the world than being stuck in a prison for the rest of my life knowing i can never get out.  I would 1000% rather die.

Sounds argumentative, but just chewing the fat, honest.

Your maths is off, if it is 1 in a 100, so 1 million would need to be more than 1% better.  I do think 1 in 100 is too high with no evidence and no previous in a UK court

You not answering the question at the top then?
