jury sequestration

Read a random definition: Court of the Chief Justice in Eyre

A quick definition of jury sequestration:

Definition: Jury sequestration is when the jury is kept isolated from the outside world during a trial to prevent them from being influenced by anything that could affect their decision. This means they are not allowed to go home or have contact with anyone who is not involved in the trial until they have reached a verdict. A jury wheel is a tool used to randomly select potential jurors for a trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Jury sequestration is when a jury is kept together in a hotel or other location during a trial to prevent them from being influenced by outside information or people.

For example, if a high-profile case is being tried and there is a lot of media coverage, the judge may decide to sequester the jury to ensure that they are not exposed to any information that could affect their decision. Another example is if there is a concern that someone may try to tamper with the jury or intimidate them.

The examples illustrate how jury sequestration is used to protect the integrity of the trial and ensure that the jury is not influenced by outside factors. By keeping the jury together and away from outside information, the judge can be confident that their decision is based solely on the evidence presented in court.
