ASQUITH, COLETTE (1973- ) Rogue Juror, Chowderhead. Despite the presence of at least three more suitable candidates, the most obvious being myself, Ms Asquith managed to insinuate herself as foreperson of the jury on the case against Calvin Munn. It gives me no pleasure to record that my reservations, reported to apparently indifferent court officials at the time, were fully vindicated. Flippant and facetious, Asquith failed to grasp the complexities of the case, disrupting jury deliberations by ostentatiously yawning and making inappropriate jokes about Munn's lawyer's facial tic. her conduct eventually caused a mistrial when a surveillance operation proved that she was openly discussing the case with friends and family members.
