Juror sequestration system.
This was the first time Zhang Wei had heard that the defense would make such a request in a trial in Dongfang Capital.
Sequestration means to seal off information, isolate from all disturbances.
The court's job was to place the jurors in a location isolated from information to ensure they would not be exposed to any.

In that case, it was best to select jurors who had no knowledge of the case details.
