Does anybody else think this jury in the Rittenhouse case should have been sequestered?

Now they can all go home and watch CNN/Fox/Court tv, etc. and listen to all the commentary. They can go online and rewatch the trial and all the parts when they were sent out of the room.

I know they are instructed not to, but who's to stop them?

I'd like to think I wouldn't but if I'm being honest here, I think I might. Especially the parts when they were sent out of the room.

Just like the Floyd trial, the left runs the show on this. They want to be able to intimidate the jury if the jury goes against the left's desired outcome.

In general, yes. But here, I hope not. Even CNN knows how bad this is. I also want them to see the shenanigans this ADA tried to pull. The guy is a lying POS.

Does that really work anymore with all of the technology at our fingertips?

I think they are trying the wrong individual & or individuals.

Bicep and anyone else that was involved with targeting and or attacking Kyle should have been charged.

This is a political hit job period point blank.

I don't think it matters because I think if the jury says that it Rittenhouse is guilty that the judge will overrule them.

The judge has admitted the prosecutor violated Constitutional rights.

This idiot prosecutor was stupid enough to try and get a witness to change his testimony, When on the stand the Prosecutor asks ...."Did I at any time ask you to change your testimony?" answer ...

"Yes you did"

They saw the Chauvin case. They know what’s up. They already know who the jurors are and will release them if Rittenhouse isn’t convicted.

WTF when did the practice of sequestering stop? And if not for this trial, then when ever?

It does if they don't allow them to access the internet and limit what they can watch on TV. I had a roommate that was on a sequestered jury. They did those things and even monitored his phone calls.

They get to see Antifa and BLM at the front door and hear threats to them and their families. There’s no way they acquit knowing that it could mean retribution.

There's really got to be more of a justifiable basis to sequester a jury, potentially for weeks because before the trial starts you have to be safe and assume a long trial, but there's got to be more of a basis than just "we have to make sure they don't watch the news or surf the web". The judge strongly admonishes them against doing so, and more often than not they are going to follow the judge's orders, more or less to the same extent that would be accomplished by sequestration. Plus, sequestration is a pretty severe burden upon the jurors, so again, there's got to be a much more profound basis than just preventative in nature.

How about "this is an explosive trial with national media attention and it seems quite plausible that members of the genpop will seek out contact with jurors?

I certainly get your point on that, but theoretically that is capable of being an issue in any jury trial, big or small. Families, friends and associates could do same on behalf of the defendant in any case, resulting in a perceived need for sequestration in every jury trial. It leads back to speculative, preventative measures, which again, typically isn't specific enough to warrant sequestration. Now, was that action perhaps a bit more commonplace in the past, probably so. But they seem to lean against in current times. Cost of that process being a major factor. For better or worse.
