I’m not from the US so I’m not quite sure if I got this right: During a court trial jury members are not allowed to be influenced by the outside so they are cut off from the society during the duration of the trial.
But how does this work. Taking the heard depp defamation trial as an example. The trial should last for 5 weeks in addition to a 10 days break. So are the jury members isolated for more than 6 weeks or how does this exactly work?

I was just on a federal jury for the Chicken Collusion Conspiracy in Denver. Almost 3 months. I just straight up didn’t look into it, didn’t tall about it or answer questions when asked. Not nearly as difficult as something like the Depp case where it’s blasted all over but it is big enough that had I looked into it there was a ton of news all over the country. It would have 100% changed my verdict had I looked into it more. I believe in our judicial system so I played by the rules. I tried to be the Juror I would want if I was on the other side. If I was on the Depp case I would have gone without social media for the trial span. I am fairly duty driven so I might be an outlier. Also, look into the chicken stuff. It’s huge, and pretty fucked up. I’m surprised it isn’t more mainstream news.
