I served on a criminal trial jury (U.S.) for 3 weeks and when the trial was over, there was no restriction on who I could talk to or what I could say about the experience.
- greensoap 2y agoIn California at least there is no law preventing the jury from talking to anyone about the case AFTER the jury returns its decision.

Judge instructed us that we were permitted but not required to talk after we left, although there might have been an admonition about personal information of other jurors. I tried to give useful feedback to both of the lawyers, since I suspect neither of them were really happy with the mistrial outcome.
