The courtroom is silent as the jury takes their seats, the weight of their responsibility settling in. In this gripping episode, Juror #11 takes us inside the first day of the trial of State of Tennessee vs. Jason Chen, where the prosecution and defense lay out their opening statements, each painting vastly different pictures of what happened to Jasmine Pace.

District Attorney General Coty Wamp commands the room, using powerful visuals—including the very suitcase in which Jasmine’s body was found—to drive home the brutality of the crime. The defense, led by Joshua Weiss, counters with a carefully crafted narrative, arguing that Jason Chen’s actions were not premeditated but rather an act of panic.

As the prosecution calls its first witnesses, including Jasmine’s mother, the emotional toll of the case becomes undeniable. Tension builds as evidence begins to emerge—surveillance footage, crime scene photos, and chilling details that begin to unravel the truth.

This episode immerses listeners in the heart of the courtroom, revealing the strategies, emotions, and pivotal moments that set the stage for what’s to come.

Sequestered. It’s a word most of us never think will apply to our lives—until it does. In this gripping first episode, Juror #11 takes us inside the moment she was called to serve on one of the most high-profile murder trials in Chattanooga’s history, TN vs Jason Chen. 

From an unexpected voicemail about jury duty to the moment she surrendered her phone and freedom, Sara recounts the surreal experience of stepping into the legal process. She shares the tension of jury selection, the weight of being sworn in, and the shocking realization that she and 15 other strangers would decide the fate of Jason Chen—the man accused of brutally taking Jasmine Pace’s life.

This episode sets the stage for what’s to come: the isolation of sequestration, the emotional toll of the courtroom, and the responsibility of seeking justice. Through vivid storytelling and firsthand insight, SEQUESTERED pulls you into the heart of the trial, honoring Jasmine’s memory while uncovering the weighty reality of being a juror.
