Sharon Wright juror turned up drunk at Glasgow Sheriff Court A juror showed up drunk to court two hours late for a trial she was due to sit on. Sharon Wright failed to show for the second day of a trial of a woman who was later cleared concerned in the supply of cocaine. The 51-year-old was given a tagging order for six months on Tuesday at Glasgow Sheriff Court after admitting committing contempt of court while on jury duty. Last month, after being selected in the trial of Margaret Shennan at the court, Wright did not turn up and was called by court workers looking for her. She told them she would make her way into Glasgow Sheriff Court but did not do so. A taxi was sent to her door to collect Wright and she was brought to the court while she was still drunk. On Tuesday, Sheriff Alan McKenzie imposed the tagging order on Wright and told her: "While serving as a member of a jury you arrived at court almost two hours late and when you arrived you were very obviously under the influence of alcohol. To serve on a jury is to perform a vitally important public duty. The responsibilities of jury service must be fulfilled with the utmost care. Routinely, the decisions of juries have far reaching consequences in the lives of others, whether accused persons or the victims of crime. Your conduct was deplorable. He added: "In considering what is the appropriate disposal I recognise that as soon as you received legal advice you promptly admitted that your conduct constituted contempt of court. I recognise too that you have never before offended. Finally, I recognise, following receipt of the criminal justice social work report, that you have longstanding and entrenched problems with alcohol consumption, problems which you have sought to tackle over time through community addiction services.
