And finally… jurors challenged
Reading time: 1 minute
A trial taking place in one of Glasgow’s newest courtrooms was called to a halt after the jury box collapsed.
A sudden creaking noise interrupted proceedings during a rape trial in the £1 million east courtroom in the High Court in Glasgow.
The noise was ignored until the back row of the jury box dramatically sank and sent jurors “tumbling out their seats”, according to a witness who spoke to the Press and Journal.
No jury members are thought to have been injured in the kerfuffle.
The incident was attributed to an undisclosed issue with the floor, and hearings are expected to resume in the courtroom this week.
