jury room

Judge Curtis Farber on Wednesday informed the jury foreperson, who complained earlier this week that he felt bullied, that he won’t have to go into the jury room if he doesn’t want to.

He added Thursday that he would not return to the jury room.

The judge told the court there was no definitive evidence that the man had discussed the trial with outsiders, but reminded the remaining jurors they should only talk about the case "in the privacy of the jury room".

While in the jury room, the jury will have an issue paper where they record their decisions.

In truth, the jury room is, and ought to be, a bit of a mystery - as long as sausages come out at the end, you don't necessarily want to see how they're being made.
