Text Messaging and Trials: A Volatile Mix

Wireless technology has raised a new concern: Is text messaging being used to tamper with trials? That fear surfaced during a recent Michigan murder trial, when a judge heard that someone in the courtroom had used a cell phone to send a text message to a sequestered witness out in a hallway about testimony.

In eight years, the plaintiffs lawyers have settled more than two dozen disputes without filing suit or bringing in a mediator.
