I continue to follow our tradition of instructing jurors not to discuss the case while it is being tried, to help them keep an open mind. But I recognize that other decisionmakers don't artificially close their minds to how the evidence is stacking up. Other jurisdictions are experimenting with interim closings and deliberations, and it would be great for you to comment on ideas like that in a future post.Rick Sankovitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966325106951209033noreply@blogger.com
