A three-month drugs trial involving over 100 witnesses and costing half a million pounds has been thrown out of court after members of the jury pleaded guilty to curing their boredom by doing sudoku puzzles .
Apparently, the Jury' forewoman admitted that her and a few others had been trying to crack the puzzle games since the second week of the trial, claiming that it had helped keep her mind 'busy'.
Just can't get the staff nowadays.

This report doesn't explain how many of the jurors were able to effectively complete their puzzles.

"The jurors face no penalty for their behaviour and a new panel is expected to be sworn in within weeks."
What the hell?
Surely they should face some kind of punishment? What would happen if no-one noticed this and they came up with a guilty verdict only because the defendants looked menacing and not based on evidence? -
Well, that's just what happens when you make us go to jury duty!
