What were the jury doing outside together? When I was on a jury, we blended in with everyone else coming into the court house and through security, even up to the court room there were other people mixed with the jury. The only time we were all together was in the jury room or jury box. Other than that, you couldn't tell us from any other person there. Even close to the court room, there was a crowd of people waiting to watch the trial (it was a murder trial) as well as jury members, and we blended in with them until we were called. I understand not all court houses are run the same way, however I can't think of any reason they all should have been out in a group together in the general public.
