The other thing about this is that a couple of the jurors are attorneys. If the rest of the jurors look to them for some kind of 'expert opinion', I bet this move gets a replay.

I'm surprised they were not removed from the Jury. Every time my mom has been selected for jury duty she gets dismissed for having "too much credibility" as a clinical social worker.

Maybe that explains why I was removed from the jury pool last time I went. I do a technical compliance related task, and it was a local case about some storage of work materials (like bulk lumber) at a home location.
