I hope Mudd's not reading this, but I suspect Dusek is. I think Mudd was wrong for taking that intra-trial vacation while the defendand is in jail. That alone speaks to the judge's mindset as to innocent until proven guilty. How could he do that unless he thought the defendant was guilty and thus no harm to an innocent?

I don't think the Juries should be sequestered, generally. In a very high profile case like this maybe -- I'd allow that the Judge, Judge Mudd, made a solid judgement of the juries maturity. Their bios are decent enough.

However in this particular case I do think that the Jury should have been sequestered once the presentations were finished, and before the closing arguments.

Exactly..I think they should be sequestered for the verdict.

He has received NOTICE from at least two Jurors are not happy with their "freedom"...why else would they complain to him? They are pleading for help...Like a Stubborn old goat, Judge Mudd is ignoring them. Unbelieveable.
