Answer 1

As a general rule, jurors to go home at the end of the day and return the next morning. There are occasions, however, that require a court to "sequester" a jury on a case overnight during deliberation on a verdict. In extremely rare cases, a jury may be sequestered during the trial itself. "Sequestered" means that jurors do not go home at the end of the day, but stay in a hotel, where their access to other people and to radio and television news or newspapers is limited.

Answer 2

....Also, jurors are not allowed to speak, talk, or even listen to tv under any circumstances pertaining to a trial, due to conflict of interest and possibly cause a mistrial.
