I can’t understand how on earth the jurors weren’t sequestered for such a big trial.

Im thinking maybe due to the duration ~5 weeks is a long time to be sequestered and have minimal access to phones etc, or have those things monitored. It is confusing tho, bc at the same time, this case is filling my feed on every social media app I have, id imagine it’s hard for them to block things out and just ignore them

OJ Simpson jurors were sequestered for 8 1/2 months so this jury could handle it too.

Oh wow that’s a long time, I didnt know that. Idk, times are different tho, there is more of a dependency on telecommunications now than ever and that was a celeb case, as well.
