There would have to be an upload to the real person,
followed by a download to a new ditto, since otherwise the
jurors would not have "seen" previous testimony.
And if the jury is sequestered, then the real people
have to be sequestered too.
I don't know if the law would be able to force people
to upload from their dittoes. From the book, I got the
impression that many people seldom let their dittoes upload,
particularly if what they had done was boring. I guess you
could always give them a choice: serve in person, or if you
use a ditto do it this way...
