I thought a jury had to be sequestered till they were done?
Not that I am saying this could be a security leak but this could be a security leak on the progress of the deliberation efforts. This person will be hounded by everyone to speak of how it is going in there.
If just one member is a trump fan, has balls and understands jury nullification, and the rest want to convict, it will be hung.
On the other hand, if just one member hates trump, has balls and understands jury nullification, and the rest want to acquit, it will be hung.
I think, based on what I’ve followed regarding this trial, we may be looking at a hung jury.
No, sequestration is the exception rather than the rule I believe. Not required by law, used when the judge thinks the jury may be subject to tampering.
