A couple decades ago, I was on a jury for a civil trial in Federal court that was officially sequestered when we went to deliberations - which only took a few hours, so they didn't have to decide whether or not they were going to sequester us overnight. (We did get lunch on Uncle Sam's dime.) Because this was a boring employment discrimination case that wouldn't particularly have interested the news media, I suspect the sequestration was more of a formality so that they could have a U.S. marshal watching to make sure that none of the jurors disappeared at that point in the proceedings.
