Judge Juan Merchan has implemented a new policy for jurors during deliberations in the courtroom. According to the judge, jurors will be required to surrender their cell phones and any other electronic devices to a court officer while they are engaged in deliberations.
This decision comes as a measure to ensure the integrity and impartiality of the jury's decision-making process. By removing access to electronic devices, the judge aims to prevent any external influences or distractions that could potentially impact the jurors' ability to focus on the case at hand.
