Delete internet or go to jail
Justice Virginia Bell, of the NSW Supreme Court, has called for the internet to be purged of any material likely to prejudice a trial in order to prevent jurors conducting their own investigations into cases on which they are sitting, according to The Australian.
The judge made the proposal at a conference of Supreme and Federal court judges from across Australia, but there were apparently few takers.
Independent research by jurors is already illegal in Australia.
