Comment on How come in court counsel can object to what one says or shows and the judge will say sustained and the jury disregard. How in the hell does a jury just auto take it out of their memory?

  They don’t have to explain it to the judge but they’re discussing it beforehand. As far as I know.

    Yeah; when on a jury, we had it all written down and had a big flow chart on a white board with stuff crossed off that we had determined wasn’t actually relevant for one reason or another. When the trial was over, all the paper got shredded and the whiteboard thoroughly scrubbed, but we needed all that information while deliberating.
