A group of jurors were caught playing Sudoku instead of taking notes...in a drug trial! here's a snippet from the article:
Sydney District Court Judge Peter Zahra cancelled the trial of two men on drugs conspiracy charges after the jury foreperson admitted that four to five jurors had been playing the addictive number sequence game, local media reported. The judge was alerted after some of the jurors were observed writing their notes vertically, rather than horizontally.
Emphasis mine. Wow, that's unbelievable! I love to play the game too but c'mon can't it wait? one person said they were playing their Sudoku puzzle since it helped them to concentrate....by taking their mind off the drawn out evidence proceedings :doh:
