Twittering Has Become An Issue In The Courtroom!

Some jurors are causing problems because they are discussing the cases that they are deliberating outside of the deliberation room.That is an absolute no-no,right?! Well,normally that would be cause for a juror to be removed.But,it's the way that these jurors are talking about the cases that they are supposed to be deciding that makes this a gray issue.There are no rules about posting messages on social networking sites,yet.Folks are twittering about the cases that they are involved in & that's an issue that judges are having to deal with.Here's more from BBC News:

But experts say the emergence of new technologies is challenging the rules."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
