Answer:

It is necessary to sequester the jury in order to avoid accidental or deliberate tainting by outside forces. I.E., The media or social media. The reason this can be a detriment is because you're basing your judgment with bias. Therefore, the trial is not impartial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Judges have done this in high profile cases. The jury is more selective and more discreet.
