That's a bunch of hooey... they should have been sequestered from the beginning..NOT in the middle of the game.

True. Motion to sequester was made and denied about the same time as wanting a separate trial on the porn charges.

That actual request is so conveniant for the defense to scream for now.

It seems to me that it would be rather inconvenient to the defense. The jury heard the DA's case plus getting exposed to the anti-Westerfield speculation & rumours in the press.

Maybe they should have went ahead and let the jury be sequestered right now... would have been interesting to see the jury's reaction. Do you (or anyone else) know how the members responded wrt:questions about sequestering during voir dire?
