Sorry about these piecemeal responses, Alexandria.

>>Throughout the trial Mudd declined defense requests to sequester the jury. Instead, he urged the panel to "self-police" – to avoid reports on the case as they went about their lives.<<

Didn't the jury, themselves, ask to be sequestered when they started deliberation during the guilt phase? Didn't Mudd promise to sequester them if they wanted it?

Sometimes I wonder if Mudd was so outrageously leaning toward the prosecution just to bolster Feldman's chances of gettinga retrial on appeal. (Excuse me while I put away the foil.)

i think the including of the porn and the way they were used in the opning statment may well be grounds for a mistrial by causing predugical attude in jurors

Pinz.....

You may need to keep that foil handy as it will take quite a bit to cover all of the outrageous elements of this trial.

I pray that none of the dear people on FR ever have someone charge them with a crime they didn't commit. They will be hard pressed to find a defense lawyer after this mockery.
