Then please tell me how you think it works?So what's the point of sequestering? If you care about reality you should know that all the jurors will have formed an opinion on the case before they were even selected. The only thing the law provides is asking them before a trial starts to just consider the facts that are presented in courts. If they are able to do that, they should be able to not consider the events of this week in their deliberations. If they are not this week's events shouldn't affect them. Cops killing unarmed people is simply not a rare event sadly enough.If you know the law pretty well. You also should know that this will most likely will go to an appeal. You should probably also know that since the judge already asked the jury to avoid the news the court of appeals is unlikely to overturn the result of the trial on the basis of this?Your a member of the court of appeals of course?Verdict should be a MISTRIAL!
The judge failed to sequester the jury in such an emotionally charged atmosphere.
Jury is NOW under duress and cannot fairly weigh the evidence!!
I know the law pretty damned well. I spent 28 years in Courts. The Judge fucked up by not sequestering the jury.
The jury needs to throw the case back on that stupid ass!
For the Judge asking the jury to avoid the news is akin to Biden asking illegals not to come to America. It just doesn't happen in reality. Sheesh!
There is no way to prevent a human being to form an opinion and the law asks for a jury trial in this case. There are no good options.
Sorry. Not the way it works.
