A jury should be in a court room as soon as the gavel goes down and should leave only when court is in recess or adjourned for the day. Juries should be there during sidebars etc.
Our courts are in a shambles and a relic of what the founders gave us and intended. They are corrupt and laden with political agenda as well.
Just from my personal experiences as a witness in an abuse case I saw enough to make me sick and I was not in a jury trial. Deals are cut, witnesses many times put on trial, and perps made to look as victims. I do not think I would make a good juror as I have lost all faith in the justice system.
I agree with that too. Jurors should be serious and fully-informed.
