Question for the legal eagles.

When a jury is sequestered is each member effectively in solitary confinement or can they talk to each other when together out of the courtroom ?

They can talk, but they’re not supposed to talk about the case!

The Martins, et al, cannot handle the truth

This will be the first time they can talk about case as a group.

Talk

On both of my juries I was on, After a month of not being able to talk it was like we finally got the duct tape taken off our mouth’s. This jury will probably say things to each other right out of the box like, “That state ME is an idiot that should be fired.” Stuff like that.

oops. Sorry. I meant once they are allowed to deliberate. But I think you knew that. ;-)

They can pretty much discuss anything not related to the case.
