I smell obstruction of justice/jury tampering/jury misconduct here. . . DinahMoeHum Jul 2013 #14

What are the actual rules governing sequestration? hack89 Jul 2013 #26
Visits aren't the issue, unsupervised is... Spazito Jul 2013 #31
Oops, you missed a spot there. cstanleytech Jul 2013 #38
Signing something is not the same as being supervised... Spazito Jul 2013 #43
Except that part you left out is a key component Spazito. cstanleytech Jul 2013 #47
If that is the case then why not simply ask the jurors to sign an agreement as to their phone calls, Spazito Jul 2013 #48
Because there isnt any way to get the people that called their phones to cstanleytech Jul 2013 #50
The jurors had anonimity, only family and, it seems, friends knew who they were... Spazito Jul 2013 #58
Actually if a reporter wanted to they could have found out there names which is cstanleytech Jul 2013 #61
You do see my point though, I hope, at the contradictory aspect to this... Spazito Jul 2013 #63
Oh I see your point I just dont agree that allowing them some private time was a breach. cstanleytech Jul 2013 #66
It wasn't a legal breach, I have to assume the Judge authorized the unsupervised... Spazito Jul 2013 #72

Because the defense had nothing to do with it. premium Jul 2013 #115
So you think because annulments are "rare" that it shouldn't happen in this case? 99th_Monkey Jul 2013 #116
No, the verdict shouldn't be set aside, premium Jul 2013 #118
What you say may be true, but that doesn't make it right morally. 99th_Monkey Jul 2013 #119
