Rittenhouse trial: Pros and cons of sequestering the jury
Fox News
Experts believe that Judge Schroeder's decision not to sequester jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial likely will not have an impact on their verdict despite vocal protesters outside the courtroom.
With the decision to not sequester the 12-person panel, jurors could be susceptible to potential exposure from outside factors, including protesters, news media or encounters with members of the public, though they were told not to interact with such factors.
"There's no American jury that's going to let themselves be impacted by … it," John Pierce, attorney for Pierce Law and the ALCU, told Fox News of the decision not to sequester jurors with protesters outside the courthouse. "However … if there was a conviction and it can be shown that there was an undue impact from some sort of mob justice warriors … that can be ethic grounds from either an appeal or a habeas corpus petition afterward."
