Temple Law's Prof. Ohlbaum comments on jurors' facebook postings, as cited on Temple Law's "Faculty in the Media" page:

"Despite judge's warnings, two jurors in [a Lancaster murder trial] wrote entries about the case on their Facebook pages. The incident underscores the perils of social networking tools to the judicial process. 'The judge says don't discuss the case, and these guys go on Facebook, which they expect will elicit a response even if they didn't intend it to. Did they violate the judge's order? Probably,' said Edward Ohlbaum, a Temple University law professor. 'But the question is not so much did they overstep the line. Assuming they did overstep the line, was there any damage or injury?' he said."
