When you are sequestered, are you allowed to watch movies? I understand why jurors aren't allowed TV, newspapers and internet, but what about movies, or books? I would go stir crazy sitting in a hotel room with no TV.

    They've got to be allowed something! Are they expected to stare at walls or go right to bed after dinner?

    I'm sure you're allowed movies and books. I'm guessing they could also give you internet, with all news sites blocked. You could also get to know your fellow jurors over a nice game of checkers!

    I bet they can watch movies and read books, but any internet or real TV is a no-no. 

    OMG...I could not be sequestered.  I would not be able to break-up with my TV or DVR.

    i believe you are allowed to gather together to watch a movie, but no talking.  and i'll bet it's craptacular movies like "the backup plan."

    This is what I am saying. Also, I don't do well in most hotels...they are gross and dirty and other people's butts have been all up in everything.

    hmo - I don't presume to know exactly what other people do. However, I *do* assume it is gross and dirty and involves butts. Also, please recall the booger wall from the downtown Shreveport Holiday Inn.

    Remember that the people selected for this big name trials were selected with an intention to find people who didn't already know much about the case....so these people were already living in some version of self-induced sequesterhood.

    yet another reason to be housebound obese or a hoarder -- you can be on the jury for the juicy trials.

    Apparently I would have been an excellent candidate. And now it is official, I live under a rock.

    I actually don't know anything about this case.  The name is familiar but I couldn't tell you if she was the (accused) killer or the victim.  I try to avoid tabloidy news unless it is actually about celebrities.  I just can't stand the Nancy Grace crap.  So I could probably be on this trial, too.  Housebound obesity really IS all it is cracked up to be.

    I always assume that there is some kind of *juice* in my hotel room. I'm not talking OJ, you know what I'm saying.
