Aren’t jurors for high profile cases typically secluded during the trial? Would they even be on social media or in a position to be out in public much?
They still have to enter the building, and the courts have specifically found that holding signs signs and handing out pamphlets about jury nullification in public space outside of courthouse are 100% protected speech.
You’re right there’s no chance they won’t be secluded on a case like this.
I don’t know the extent of that though. They probably don’t sleep in the same building so they need to transit between places. Do they use no windows so they can’t see signs? What about hoods, just as effective as no glass!

Sequestered
Thanks. I was struggling to come up with the right word.
your probably thinking grand juries.
Nah, it happens for regular trials. For example, Trump’s felony trial in New York last year. The jurors were all sequestered for that.
