The jury was treated with great care throughout the trial …. Excerpt from the book: The jury was brought in at 8:47 a.m. on March 29, 2022 and sworn in by the clerk. The Court made a seating chart. Judge Goodman read a set of instructions and told them that a set of written instructions would be given to them in the deliberation room. The jury will not be sequestered, but Judge Goodman admonished the 14-person jury to not discuss the case, nor view any social media, or any news reports of the trial proceedings or any computer accounts of the trial. He said, “Do not speak to the lawyers, witnesses, or family members. Do not investigate the case or visit the scene of the crime. You can talk to anyone about the trial after the trial is over. You may take notes except during the opening and closing arguments, but don’t let note taking distract you from carefully listening to and observing the witnesses. You may use the notes during deliberation. After the trial, the notes will be collected and destroyed. You will not have access to the transcript during deliberations, but you can ask to have portions of the testimony read back to you.” |
