WAIT... why were the jurors questioned ONE BY ONE this morning? 👀
Yesterday, court suddenly ended HOURS early...
Then THIS MORNING... the jurors were brought in INDIVIDUALLY to be questioned by the judge.
So naturally everyone wants to know... WHAT HAPPENED?!
Was a juror exposed to something? Did someone discuss the case? Was there another issue entirely?
WE DON’T KNOW.
Yesterday: unexpected early dismissal. Today: jurors questioned individually.
What do YOU think happened? 👀
