Not only that, but if any of them are on any kind of social media AT ALL or hell even listen to the radio or watch TV it seems like it would be damn near impossible to avoid a random headline here and there. This trial has been covered ad nauseam by both US-based and international news outlets. Hell on a Windows PC if you open up Bing with the default settings you get a news page in your face.
They’re not sequestered. If they were, they’d be stuck in a hotel somewhere without internet access. It’s super rare, but you’d think this case of all cases would qualify for that level of isolation. There’s probably a good reason not to, I mean imagine the logistics for the 12 jurors and all the alternates (6, I think). Most people can’t just disappear from their lives for a month. That said, it’s a Manhattan jury, so they know this fool regardless.
By the letter and spirit of the law they can’t have read about it because the Judge said not to, and so there CAN’T be tampering charges, right? Right??
I would like to point to the Clown Code of Ethics, which ironically is stricter than the Supreme Court’s. Although Clarence Thomas is making an excellent attempt at number 7

I wonder how sequestered the jurors are. Do they even have Internet access?

Let’s try to keep things in the bounds of plausibility here…

If I can’t have a drunk clown I’d rather have no clown at all.
