"The jury: The presentation of information has been SO fragmented to them, and I know so much about the facts and nuances of the case that I cannot even begin to guess what they must be thinking. BUT I can't help but think that being told you were going to be on a case until mid-December and now finding yourself still there for this out-of-order jumble of testimony in mid-January has to be frustrating. And yes, if I were on this particular jury I am probably the kind who might be taking a sneak peak at the internet, just to find out what the heck is going on. Not saying that is the right thing to do, but these people are human beings, with lives to live."
I can't imagine that the current jury doesn't already have some idea what happened during the last trial. So I'm hoping they are able to keep up just based on prior knowledge.
