Nelson made a great point for acquittal using this argument, but judge denied it from what I saw this morning. Still comes down to jury at this point. After current riots with no sequester, I worry the jury won't be completely fair, we'll see. board up your windows either way!
The judge decided right with no sequester. My take is that if the jurors feel threatened, they are more likely to go guilty. Sequestering would give them the feeling that they need to watch their backs for the rest of their lives.. Think of all the old mob cases, where people were threatened. This is what BLM is trying to do, scare everybody into submission.
That is very true and I agree. I hadn't thought of it that way and that makes a lot of sense as to what the Judge was probably thinking. Thank you for the response
