Tweeting in the Jury Box: A Danger to Fair Trials?

Hilary Hylton's, Dec.2009, Time Magazine article states that there may or may not be a good in prohibiting the use of cellphones by jurors. This could cause a problem because other than chatting with friends the jury members may be using those electronic devices to check on previous opinions about the cases. There is where the problem begins because justice would no longer be equal to bothe sides of the cases. This could cause an innocent civilian to lose their case just because of sudden gossip online. It is a good resort for Michigan to begin this type of action for the benefit of the defending parties and also the jury members themselves.


Why Have people allowed such a revolution as Cell Phones to ruin our day to day activities?
