When I was a juror, any time there was ever anything remotely procedurally questionable, we got whisked out the door. There were no sotto voce huddles in front of the judge while he covered the mic with his hand.
Pretty much all that stuff (what counsel can / can’t say / ask) has been ruled on already.
