On tv shows, the attorneys are always back at their offices and then rush to the court house when the verdict is ready. Wonder why these attys are just sitting there. I'd think they should have a lot of work to do in their offices.
Seems a bit odd to me, too, B-R, but maybe this is just how it's done. I would think that all the principals have "go-fers" for things they might need in their offices, etc., and surely they have pc's that they are allowed to use in the court room, and maybe they can use their phones...
And for several requests that the jury has had, the Judge told the attys, and got their opinions/agreements -- I guess this method is less dramatic (than on TV), but more reasonable & convenient for them all, including the jury. Who knows
