State, noted in a blog entry here (Oct. 30, 2009). A laptop provided by the court clerk or bailiff for the jury's use would certainly minimize some of the problems present in using the prosecutor's laptop. But in a metropolitan jurisdiction, there may not be enough computers for every courtroom. Who wants to tell Judge X that the jury deliberating in Judge Y's courtroom has the only available computer? Small jurisdictions, in the horribly tight budgetary conditions they face, might not be able to afford any such equipment. And of course, leaving the computer with the jury creates a risk of the jurors doing "independent" research, something the judge's assistant here seems to have prevented.Bractonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21633793.post-31428609859823681812011-07-29T11:54:49.774-04:002011-07-29T11:54:49.774-04:00Wow!
