1. when the outcame has already been provided to you there's no point in paying attention

[NJCher]

2. how would they even be aware of that?

If they were playing around with their cell phones?

The point is they don't know what is going on.

3. From a cursory glance at the headlines, it looks like a witness saw this

Now, the question is, were they playing with their cell phones or making notes of the testimony?

[NJCher]

4. most likely playing

Cell phones are addictive. People who have one constantly have to be looking at their phone.

There is no such thing as multitasking. That is a myth.

Fact is, these jurors were more than likely not paying attention when they needed to.

5. I sat through a jury trial in high school 37 years ago

Most of the jurors were zoned out and some were even nodding off. Nothing has changed.
