Jury members have been given run-down in what's wrong (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
sworn in
'jury members have been' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'run-down in what's wrong' is the wordplay.
'run-down' becomes 'worn' (similar in meaning).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'what's wrong' becomes 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime).
'worn' put into 'sin' is 'SWORN IN'.
'given' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
