Also, most have addiction problems with their phones, so will struggle with that in the same way they may to suddenly stop smoking. It will make them agitated and distracted, and so how can they concentrate on the trial? The other interesting point for me is what is essentially being instructed is: stay away from the media. It's current poison levels is implicit in the judicial instruction. I love using a burner phone and I still use a laptop with Windows XP still does every thing I need to do for work. For example invoicing, emails, browsing. My partner did buy me a new laptop a couple of years ago but I use that for Skype or Zoom to talk to friends. It has no documents. If I am not work then I am outdoors.

Green Man	Use a desktop or laptop. Don't go news sites.
Jen	The advice means that jurors should avoid internet items concerning the relevant case. For years I've successfully avoided any news coverage of Tottenham Hotspurs and others.
