Do you think every jury member can actually not read the news regarding the Ross Ulbright trial? There has to be an incredible amount of temptation.

Is the jury not sequestered? If not, then I imagine this happens. If they are sequestered, while we find it highly interesting I'd bet there are a good number of people who aren't familiar with Ross or Silk Road. We obviously have an information bias here but I can list a good number of people I could ask if they know who Ross is or what Silk Road was and they'd say no clue on Ross and Silk Road was a trading route back in the day. lol.
If they aren't sequestered, that's a mistake imo

Hopefully any juror who gives into temptation has learned enough from the trial to browse the news in an untraceable way. :-)

Who is Ross Ulbright?
I think so very much, some people are followers and are easily influenced. Esspecially if the person in the jury knows jack shit about technology.
Lets hope the fucks arent conservative assholes.
