    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.
