According to my mum: "if you even miss a single day they throw the entire jury out and have to restart the whole court case again so that the new jurors can hear all the evidence". I feel that would make longer cases exponentially impractical.

I can't find anything about this on the internet, other than for someone asking this question in America.

I love the "asked the court clerks for painkillers" xD The judge was probably stepping in to avoid a repeat of the episode where clerks gave the jury opiates.

Ty for your story. Interesting to see them that accommodating.
