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?

It’s very, very rare for a jury to be sequestered. Most trials still let you go home for dinner. It’s only the rare case where the trial is sensationalized for the media that makes an exception.
