And the reason these jurors are not being held in contempt of court is...? Seriously, they violate the rules, they are held in contempt, and maybe even put in jail overnight. Let's just use the rules that already exist to deal with the problem.
I'm so conflicted here, on the one hand there are very old and very good rules for why jurors should be in a sort of information bubble, but then there is the part of me that thinks the more information the better.
