There was something on the TV news tonight about the (latest) OJ Simpson case. The American reporter managed to make this word sound like jurrr. Is it an errr of pronunciation?

No, it's because juror is a dumb word. See the "30 Rock" episode(s) where they make fun of one of the character's former projects, a film called "The Rural Juror." The running joke is that when anyone says the title, nobody can tell what the hell they're saying. :) (We still laugh about this, months later, in our house.)
