What is 'jury tampering'?
Sometimes when you serve on a jury, you're going to hear the term jury tampering. And jury tampering happens in several ways and unfortunately one of the ways it happens is that they may try to pick jurors who only think a certain way and that in a sense is jury tampering, that can be jury tampering from the bench, or jury tampering by the prosecutor or the defense because they're trying to stack the jury and that is tampering with the jury. Jury tampering can also happen if as you're leaving the courtroom somebody who may know something about a case hands you a whole list of facts about the case and tries to try to persuade you to vote one way or the other with your verdict, that's jury tampering. If anybody threatens you while you're serving on the jury and they say "if you convict my brother, you won't live to see another sunrise", that's not only jury tampering, that's felony jury tampering, they just threaten your life. If you, if anybody ever approaches you when you serve on the jury and tries to give you money, threatens you in any way, tries to give you information about the case immediately report it.
