Zimmerman Jury to Be Sequestered for Weeks

As you know, dear Newserites, it can be hard to avoid the media furor over the George Zimmerman trial. You're failing to avoid it right now! Which is fine, because you're not on the jury. And lucky thing, too, because Judge Debra Nelson told jury candidates today that they were in for a sentence of their own: Those picked will be sequestered for the trial's full two- to four-week duration. The news probably didn't come as too much of a shock; attorneys have been asking candidates for days how much hardship they'd suffer if kept away from their families for that long, the AP reports.
