    I felt super bad for Ronald, he genuinely made friends with some of the other jurors while they were in character and seemed like a really sweet person, then had to find out his new friends were lying to him the whole time. Even though they went to decent lengths to not make Ronald the butt of the joke, you can see the betrayal cross his face when the big reveal happens. I agree we shouldn't do this kind of thing to people.

    • @jackkerger164
      @jackkerger164 Рік тому +5

      I don’t think that’s quite correct, though it’s possible I’m mistaken. They are allowed to talk to one another, but NOT about the case. If it ever comes out that the jurors have discussed the case at any point prior to deliberations, it can easily result in a mistrial. I believe they also monitor the jury to a minor extent to make sure they aren’t talking about anything regarding the case.
      Particularly in a situation like a sequestered jury, it would be too difficult and bizarre to ensure the jurors never talk at all, so the judge will just hammer home the point that there will be consequences for the case (and potentially the jurors) if the admonition against discussing the case is not followed.
