U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel … decided to sequester the jury for the rest of the proceeding as a precaution.

“I don’t do it lightly,” Brasel said. “But I want to ensure a fair trial.”

She didn’t decide immediately whether to detain the defendants, but she did order an FBI agent to confiscate the defendants’ phones.

And this is why no one willingly serves on a jury: Jurors get locked up while criminals get their phones taken away.

Before allowing the trial to continue with more closing arguments on Monday, U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel questioned the remaining 17 jurors and alternates, and none reported any unauthorized contact.

“Bags of cash? Hmmm uhhhh not that we remember… what kind of bag? No no cash I’m pretty much positive.”

(Awful stuff tho)

I legit hope that happened. She should get to keep at least some of that money.
