Referring you to my post dated 12-17-22, in light of alleged threats against the federal prosecutor and his family, should jurors in any trials of the former President be sequestered during the entire trial, not just during deliberations? Even disregarding the exorbitant cost, logistical issues, and privacy issues, would any jurors be willing to be cut off from family, media, social media, employment, and recreation for weeks on end and serve on such a jury? Or, would the court even want those so willing to serve given the likelihood of their desire for their "15 minutes of fame": post-verdict media tour, etc? Or a desire to sway their fellow jurors toward a preconceived verdict? These are serious questions that need to be discussed at the highest levels of the federal judiciary.
