They're up to 12. The first five will be heard in June.

He tells a German site that there are people waiting to give him work if/when he is cleared...

I assume by “people” he means the producers of those horrific “God’s Not Dead” movies

From the judge's opening remarks, it sounds as though the jury won't be sequestered...

Sequestering juries is pretty rare in the UK. Probably in part because there are much tighter reporting restrictions on UK court cases - which includes everyone. The only reporting allowed is what factually took place in court - no commenting, theorising or anything else. Even random TikTok-ers doing catch-ups would be considered sub judice in the UK, and could lead to a mistrial. (Quite what would happen if what occurred on Tik Tok and YouTube with the US Depp/Heard case had happened with the prior UK case, I'm not sure).

Anyway, it means that there is less of an issue of needing to put jurors in a hotel to avoid seeing prejudicial coverage.

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.
