Conn. Practice Book § 42-22
Sequestration of Jury
If a case involves the penalty of capital punishment or imprisonment for life or is of such notoriety
or its issues are of such a nature that, absent
sequestration, highly prejudicial matters are likely
to come to the jury’s attention, the judicial authority, upon its own motion or the motion of either
party, may order that the jurors remain together
in the custody of an officer during the trial and until
they are discharged from further consideration of
the case. Such order shall include an interpreter
or interpreters assisting a juror who is deaf or hard
of hearing. A motion to sequester may be made
at any time. The jury shall not be informed which
party requested sequestration.
