“Jury service is turned off after the comment on line”
“A juryman at the Gothenburg district court will be suspended after his comments about activist Elin Ersson, who recently was fined for violating the aviation act.”
“the Trial was held earlier in the year, but after the judgment, reported svenska Dagbladet that juror already in the summer had called Ersson”
“– He is off in the expectation that we will decide whether or not he should be allowed to continue with his mission, or be dismissed from it, ” says Johan Kvart, chief judge of the district court, to the TT.”
“It was in July last year, Elin, Ersson, refused to put itself on its place in an aircraft which would lift from the Landvetter airport outside Gothenburg. The aim was to prevent a deportation to Afghanistan.”
“She finally got to leave the plane and was sentenced in February of this year for crimes against aviation. Ersson and her attorney believe, however, that the juror has been disqualified and has therefore appealed the decision and requested that the trial in the district court shall be made.”
