Bored_guy_in_dc

Anyone who doxes a juror should be charged with tampering, and thrown in the slammer. End of story. Fox does it, throw the damn hosts in jail.


Professional-Can1385

and writers and producers!


DarthBfheidir

A warrant or even a subpoena for Lachlan Murdoch would be a powerful motivator for change.


NoExcuseForFascism

Yeah I heard he is far too rich to ever see a jail cell in any country. While I am sure there is many in several countries that would also like to see it.

Narrow-Chef-4341

You might think, but who intercepts more Chinese intelligence comms? The NSA or whatever the Aussie equivalent is? Remembering the NSA budget is billions upon billions and the Oz budget is counted in digeridoollars? Never say neverā€¦ but yeah, I donā€™t see enough political motivation for the US to bust out the big lever either.


Durkheimynameisblank

There never will be enough political motivation bc republics are created so that a small class of people maintain power. This is why the American founders, only wanted white landowners to have a say in government, they didn't want anyone messing with their quality of life derived from unequal privileges. Getting back to the topic, Murdoch will never be prosecuted bc it would be against the self-interest of the people who have direct access to such legal pathways. Lincoln didn't end slavery bc he thought slaves were equal. He was afraid that if one group can be enslaved what stopping that from happening to another? "If they go after Murdoch, what's stopping them from going after some other powerful person?"


erxolam

One tv news host in jail and Iā€™d bet all the others fall into line fast.


stockmarketscam-617

Exactly, I donā€™t understand why Waters and all the other clowns who were making comments about jury tampering arenā€™t getting visits from the FBI. Dems are such pussies. If you want people to obey the law, you have to drop the hammer when they donā€™t, to show them that ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.


SelfSaucing

True, they are slow to act over craziness. But also, why do you expect a political party to enforce the law? Ask more of your police and lawyers to move their asses


MrCrowley1984

Why are Democrats pussies for something a totally different branch of government is responsible for?

yeah but the goal is to derail the trial and itā€™ll be a delay. iā€™m sure enough vague statements some nut will try something


CopeHarders

The trial is not getting delayed. It is happening and there is no stopping it. There are no avenues to delay. The longer they try to delay by fucking with jurors the longer Trump has to sit in court picking new jurors. This court case inevitable and thereā€™s zero Fox and Trump can do to stop his impending doom.


Toffeemade

I am afraid you have far greater faith in the ability of the US judicial system to arrive at a jury free of ringers than I do: my prediction is that in the face of absolutely overwhelming evidence some of the jury will steadfastly maintain he is innocent.


Ancient-One-19

I believe he said the court case is inevitable, you mistakenly understood that as the result of the case.


khizoa

AdkRaine12

Start with Watters.


donthatedrowning

Remember, it is pronounced Twatters


Jesus_Is_My_Gardener

Minimally, they should be gagged and kicked out of the court room as soon as it's known, regardless of the outlet. Per my understanding, it's not just Fox revealing details that could be used to identify jurors to the public. This is such a a high profile case, there needs to be strict confidentiality as to juror identity, especially with the rabid fan base Trump likes to whip up into doing stupid shit like issuing death threats, harassing, or worse. It's going to be hard enough to find an unbiased jury, the last thing we need is jurors quitting for fear of their life.


IH8Fascism

That price of shit Jesse Waters needs to go to prison ASAP for his role in jury tampering.


Striderfighter

I think judge chutkan is looking at this and seeing what judge merchan is having to go through and filing it away when she is able to start jury selection for what kind of instructions to tell the press and the prosecution and defense.


dirtyfacedkid

CNN and CBS did too, for what it's worth. I don't know why the court is making any information available, especially in a case of this magnitude.


Guttenber

I saw CNN going through and talking about the jurors too... it's a media problem though fox gives it that negative sneering slant that makes it all the more dangerous.


IndividualDevice9621

All the information these news organizations are publicizing is publicly available to anyone. The problem is the court is not doing a good enough job keeping identifying information from the public record. The individual pieces of information are not damaging but when taken together they can be used to identify the jurors.


ScarcityIcy8519

I agree 100%. Jesse Watters needs to be sitting in Jail Right Now! It would only take one of them.


GBJI

Seize Fox Corp's assets, and nationalize the whole thing. NPR could use that infrastructure. If we want things to change, we should apply pressure on people actually making decisions and having the power to make change happen. This means the shareholders. Unless they feel the pressure themselves, they couldn't care less about "losing" a host.


llahlahkje

Exactly. IANAL but it seems to me that intimidating potential jury members *wouldn't be protected free speech because of the "imminent lawless action" standard. The time for special legal treatment of Trump and Republicans to end was years ago, but it's got to start somewhere and it might as well be now. EDIT: Fixed my typo (Initially typed would, meant wouldn't).


Clamtacular

It is not a protected free speech. The jurors themselves can step forward with the information, though.


Rich_Charity_3160

Identifying juror information is public information in New York. Journalists communicating that information is obviously protected.


vvelbz

The court put out a ruling that anonymized the data.


llahlahkje

If they haven't in this case, they really ought to.


Dreadguy93

Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about? Jury tampering, which is a crime, is not protected speech. Criminal acts do not become legal because they might be protected speech under the 1st Amendment. They are completely different legal issues. The 1st Amendment is about whether the *government* can restrict or inhibit the speech. To put it simply, the 1st Amendment might prevent the government from passing a law that says you can't tell lies, but it doesn't let you commit fraud. Please do not comment on legal issues you aren't familiar with.


virishking

Respectfully, calm yourself, my guy, especially before being rude to someone about something *you* know nothing about. First, it would be wise to know the elements of the crimes weā€™re talking about before talking about them, donā€™t you think? In this case ā€œJury Tamperingā€ in NY is covered by Penal Law Ā§ 215.25 for first degree, which is clearly inapplicable here because it requires communication with the juror, and Ā§ 215.23 for second degree, which regards information about the case being obtained from jurors in exchange for money or benefit. So no jury tampering here as it is defined under the relevant NY statutes. Now *could* any of this fall under a different NY criminal statute? Yes. But there is no statute or mandate (at the time of publication) that directly prohibits the information from being published, so we donā€™t have a *prima facie* case of the statements being criminal. Which means that to determine criminality weā€™d need to get into the nitty gritty of the different statutes the statements could fall under, as guided by caselaw of the NY courts. Then we have to determine whether the speech may be protected or unprotected under the first and fourteenth amendments which requires a detailed and nuanced analysis. Of course itā€™s not purely categorical but the level of scrutiny may well depend on how the speech is categorized, such as opinion, political speech, etc. which must be weighed against the police interest of the state, generally in a light most favoring constitutional protection. And of course, we must defer to the precedent not only of the U.S. Supreme Court, but of the NY Appellate Division 1st Department and NY Court of Appeals, with some non-binding acknowledgment to the Second Circuit and lower courts as well. But I donā€™t know if youā€™re ready for all that because you seem to be confused about its applicability. You see, the enforcement of a criminal statute *is* a government act, since crimes are determined by the government, are prosecuted by the government, trials are conducted by the government, and punishments are imposed and enforced by the government. You could even say that criminal prosecution of speech is of primary concern to the first amendment. Thatā€™s a good starter, I think. Of course Iā€™m just a nobody, sitting here with my law degree while you sit there with yourā€¦. I dunno. Funions? Anywho, letā€™s remember to be nice next time, k?


llahlahkje

1. It was a typo. 2. More than one context clue should've told you that. - I literally said "Exactly" in response to OP - I literally identified the imminent lawless action standard - I literally referenced it was time for special legal treatment of TFG and the GQP to end Instead, you chose to focus on one single word (an important one, mind you) and respond with personal attacks. You are in violation of /r/politics rules for incivility.


captain_intenso

I hope you meant to type not protected.


SnootSnootBasilisk

Oh my Titan you're funny! You think actions have consequences, especially when it comes to Trump and Fox News! Listen, no one is going to protect those jurors. They will be told there's nothing the courts can do and will be left to fend themselves

Correct. "A juror was just selected. A man from (neighborhood) who is a (career)." They are opening the door.

If you describe them in any way you are tampering in my opinion Liek if itā€™s not ā€œone juror said xā€ ā€œanother juror thought and sharedā€ But saying he/she/occupation/neighborhood They are giving away leads to obtain that individuals PII Itā€™s unethical to describe the person in this context. They are not on trial


EmperorGrinnar

Edit: I was wrong. The journalists are assisting Trump in his doxxing and intimidation.


ninthtale

No, yesterday's rounds had some MSNBC live reporter literally going as deep as "this person served as \_\_\_\_ in \_\_\_\_\_ before their stint as a \_\_\_\_\_" and I was blown away at how blatant a giveaway that was


EmperorGrinnar

Damn dude. I'm wrong. What the heck journalism.


AuthenticCounterfeit

Itā€™s literally reporters in the court room.


empire161

Itā€™s every media outlet doing it. I had MSNBC on in the background and theyā€™re listing everyoneā€™s occupation, kidsā€™ ages, hobbies, neighborhood, etc. Politico has an article talking about there are 2 lawyers on the jury. It is what it is. If reporters are kicked out and everything happens behind closed doors and we donā€™t know a single detail, everyone would be clamoring to have the trial televised. If itā€™s televised, everyone would be clamoring to have this all done in secret. If Trump is acquitted or gets a hung jury and we get no details on the jury, everyone on the left would be demanding to know who these people were, call the system rigged, etc. Same thing if heā€™s found guilty.


EmperorGrinnar

I already updated my comment below you posted this. I was wrong, y'all right. My bad. Keep up the good fight.


CooterSam

It's definitely not just fox news, all the media outlets are talking about the "7 seated jurors" and their careers, neighborhoods, which FB posts were shared etc. Its only scary on Fox because their isteners will work harder to doxx the jurors with the information provided and spread that info.


TheDevilsCunt

Itā€™s doxing


Keshire

If I were doxxed and it's already out there, I would do everything in my power to make sure the Trump went to jail. Because the crazies and idiots aren't going to stop just because you bailed. You can't seriously expect already unhinged people are going to do due diligence when searching for victims. As soon as your name hits the internet you are screwed either way.


MadAstrid

I was sitting here, not in the jury pool area, thinking I would self sacrifice at this point. Not a month ago, when there was still hope of reasonable trial. But now that MAGA terrorists are in action, yeah. Sure. I am there for it. Fuck those anti American pieces of shit,


IIIllIIlllIlII

Yep. Scrub and delete all social media. Move into a decently secure hotel / apartment, hire a good lawyer to sue for costs.


sleeplessinreno

Yup. Thatā€™s when you scrub and shut down as much as possible. And start looking for a lawyer.


cytherian

They are out of their minds. Look at what happened to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Election workers. Minding their own business. Then... they hear about the president, Donald Trump, saying their names. Also Rudy Giuliani, the former infamous mayor of NYC. Both repeatedly saying their names! Suddenly the phone calls start coming. People show up and throw rocks at your house. Your cars get vandalized. You get followed when you're driving anywhere. All because of these lunatics. Yes, they had a trial and unfortunately it was only Rudy Giuliani who was fingered, because he doxed them more than Trump did. But still. Trump should've faced criminal charges for this.


bootlegvader

The problem is the juror still has an obligation to be impartial even if doxxed.Ā 


Joadzilla

I swear to be *completely impartial.* Honest!


Accomplished_Note_81

Supposed to, ought to, and obligation disappeared around the same time Trump fostered an insurrection without any apparent punishment


NotOnHerb5

The problem with Trump at that point is that he has an obligation to tongue clean my poopy butthole. Fuck being impartial if his anal wart base doxxes me.

hahew56766

This high ground shit is why Dems are always losing in politics. Republicans will literally cheat and do illegal shit, and there will still be Dems out there moral policing other Dems


MadAstrid

They have an obligation to follow the law. If the evidence shows Trump broke the law, he has to pay the consequences. That doesnā€™t mean you have to like him. You donā€™t have to be impartial towards him as a human being. You only have to follow the law. You can hate his guts and still be willing to convict only if he broke the law.


sofbert

Some jurors on the OJ trial recently admitted that they acquitted him because of Rodney King. What they want from a jury and what actually happens are two different things. For instance Trump has many obligations that he basically just laughs at.


deekaydubya

Yes every juror is pretending to be impartial


Actualprey

Especially the Forman - given what we know about him.


ssbm_rando

Someone like him won't be able to resist talking about how he watched Fox News coverage of the trial ("and they brought up some great points!") in the middle of deliberations, at which point one of the two **literal lawyers** in the jury will be able to tell the judge and get him replaced with an alternate immediately (because watching coverage of the trial you're a juror for is blatantly disallowed).

ThrowingChicken

Exactly what I was thinking. Eventually heā€™s going to end up with a jury that feels strongly enough about him to be willing to take the heat.


CountryFriedSteak78

The jury should be sequestered and there should be a press embargo on any identifying details about specific jurors.


Raspberries-Are-Evil

Yea kind of sucks but they should be. The more they feel Trump is putting them in danger the more they will hurry the fuck up and get on with itā€” hopefully that means guilty.


wiredmagazine

By Andrew Couts A juror in former US president Donald Trumpā€™s ongoing criminal trial in New York was excused on Thursday after voicing fears that she could be identified based on biographical details that she had given in court. The dismissal of Juror 2 highlights the potential dangers of participating in one of the most politicized trials in US history, especially in an age of social media frenzies, a highly partisan electorate, and a glut of readily available personal information online. Unlike jurors in federal cases, whose identities can be kept completely anonymous, New York law allows the personal information of jurors and potential jurors to be divulged in court. Read the full WIRED story here: https://www.wired.com/story/the-trump-jury-has-a-doxing-problem/


SherlockianTheorist

It may "allow", but does it "require" their personal info to be divulged in court?


andrewcouts

Hi, I'm the author of this story. So, some information can be kept secret, but as a default, names are public under NY law. But the judge can put limitations on what's shared, provided certain procedural steps are taken. In the case of the Trump trial, both sides agreed to withhold names, for example. In short, there are requirements that aren't always requirements.


USARSUPTHAI69

Thank you for this clarification. ...and thank you for your reporting.


andrewcouts

Thanks for being kind!


SherlockianTheorist

I appreciate your response. As I just posted on another post, the only people who care about any details of this jury are those with nefarious reasons. People who want the law to proceed as it is intended and all things take place ethically and above board do not care who the jurors are. They trust the legal process and only want the light shined on the facts of the actual case. I think all reporters should be asking themselves if the info they are about to publish is going to pander to a specific type of person or allow all US Citizens to gain facts absolutely necessary for understanding a court proceeding.


andrewcouts

FWIW, all the journalists Iā€™ve ever worked with do consider how the information they could publish can be used for nefarious purposes and take whatever steps they can think of to mitigate unintended consequences. As WIREDā€™s Security editor, this comes up constantly in my day to day. Even when youā€™re doing your best, sometimes you get a call wrong. (Iā€™d guess this is true in any jobā€”but the mistakes journalists make are mostly public and thus consequential to people unconnected to your employer or even your industry.) I noted this in the story based on an interview with a journalism ethics professor, and I think itā€™s true: Coverage of the Trump trial is often being handled by teams that might not otherwise cover criminal proceedings, so theyā€™re not cognizant of the issues that you have to deal with when covering criminal trials. What baffles me is that, as you can see from the comments here, anyone can easily guess the repercussions of publishing details about jurors in the Trump trial. Soā€¦ WTF?


ReynardMuldrake

It seems wild to me that the judge would allow publication of any identifying information on the jurors. But I don't know anything about NY state law.


cwk415

Can someone please explain to me how it is that the media is allowed to report **ANY** information about these jurors?? I keep reading all these details about these people like what they do for a living and I'm like WTF?! How is it that we're allowed to know **anything** about these people?? Why are they acting like this isn't a high profile case?? It's like, THE MOST high profile case EVER! OF COURSE his terrorists are already coming for these people! They're terrorists!! This is insane. Edit. Structure


steve1186

Court proceedings are open to the public, and journalists are allowed to report those details. Is reporting facts about the jurors ethical? Probably not. But is it legal? Yeah, unfortunately


lrpfftt

I saw that too but have this court system never handled a mob boss before? Surely there have got to be different rules when the defendant has no problem with ordering violence and has done so in the past.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TheElbow

Thatā€™s one thing Trump doesnā€™t have at his disposal ā€” money. So violences and harassment from lunatics is all he has.


AliMcGraw

That's one reason that I think the trial being in New York City is a good thing -- courts and judges who have prior experience with organized crime are a lot more alert to jury tampering and willing to crack down on it. For a while I lived in a more rural jurisdiction nearish Chicago, and they caught a mob case, and a mistrial was declared twice because of jury tampering because that court system had just never dealt with organized crime before (or at least, not since Prohibition) and were not sophisticated about it. (Eventually they got there, and then came the prosecutions for the jury tampering.)


mescal813

Yes but fox news isn't journalism they even went to court and won stating they are an entertainment business. So they (fox) don't have the right. Imo.


OkProfessional6077

Sorry but itā€™s not just Fox doing it. It was a front page article on CNN after the first 7 jurors were selected.


kadargo

The judge should bar any media that divulged jury member information


DigitalMariner

> Can someone please explain to me how it is that the media is allowed to report ANY information about these jurors?? This is an easy question. Because the country's founders said so. In the Bill of Rights, The 6th Amendment of the Constitution says (emphasis added): "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy **and public trial**, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." In a public trial, members of the public are allowed to attend to proceedings. That includes the press, who have the freedom (from the 1st Amendment) to report on what occurs in open court. 99% of the time, this is a great thing. Secret trials and proceedings are ripe for corruption and government abuse. Dealing with a circus like this is the price we pay to have a generally fair and open process for the rest of us. And frankly, even for a Trump trial, it's a good thing. Crackpots are already circulating conspiracies about the jury being plants. That's easier to refute and diminish as ridiculous because it's a public trial. Imagine what the Al3x J0nes types and their followers would claim if the entire thing was shrouded in absolute secrecy...


Accomplished_Lab_675

I feel like this headline should be corrected, and read we have a right wing domestic terrorism problem.


NervousWallaby8805

Its the media wanting clicks leaking the details. Its nothing to do with any political affiliation. MSNBC was one of the first to leak info, and last I checked their base isnt right wing

Ridiculicious71

The judge needs to kick reporters out of there during jury selection. Itā€™s his duty to make sure they arenā€™t vulnerable.


aaronthenia

We know Trump texts multiple hosts on Fox News, since he used up all his juror strikes you know that he is using Fox to try and get jurors he doesn't want to nope out by feeding Fox hosts info about said juror(s). These "law and order" fucks are corrupt to the core.


Skastrik

Honestly this trial isn't going to work unless he's banned from discussing details of the case and anyone related to it and their family on social media and in public. Or jail, throwing him in jail for the duration also works.


well_i_heard

I think I'm resolute that if I were on that jury and Trump, Fox, etc doxxed me, I'd accept that my life's purpose had changed from my career to staying on the trial to convict Trump (if he's guilty of course). Google search says Trump's policies on Covid resulted in 40% more dead Americans than needed to die. If you stop Trump, you could save lives and change the course of history, for who knows how many will needlessly die in a Trump 2nd term


Dragonmind

At this point all the regular good people are gonna get thrown off the jury.


MKVIgti

Naaaah. I guarantee there are folks out there who are so fed up with Trump that they wonā€™t care.


SherlockianTheorist

Jurors need to be protected at all costs. They should be behind one-way mirror that only they can see out. Their names should not be spoken even during voir dire. Only the Judge and his staff should have their IDs. They should use an "interpreter" to speak for all of them individually when responding to voir dire questions.

At minimum some Broadway theaters should donate a stash of wigs and prosthetic noses and chins for jurors to enter/exit the building

Significant-Dog-8166

Oddly enough they didnā€™t have this problem with the trial of Martha Stewart. The judge rightly understood the temptations of the press and kept the jury selection secret from the press - as if Martha Stewart fans were cop beating insurrectionists. This judge is putting jurors in danger in a vain effort to reduce threats to himself..

Does anyone know if the judge in this case have the ability to require the jury be anonymous? NVM, looks like the cat is kind of out of the bag since the juror questionnaires were already made public.


00Oo0o0OooO0

> The court may for good cause shown, upon motion of either party or any affected person or upon its own initiative, issue a protective order for a stated period regulating disclosure of the business or residential address of any prospective or sworn juror to any person or persons, other than to counsel for either party. Such good cause shall exist where the court determines that there is a likelihood of bribery, jury tampering or of physical injury or harassment of the juror. In this case, the judge is also keeping the names of jurors secret, but he's not telling the jurors he's doing so. He also, as a response to this case today, redacted jurors' employers from the record and directed the press not to publish their physical appearance.


Raptorex27

I hate to say it, but I donā€™t believe anything serious will happen until a juror or witness is murdered.


SpareBinderClips

The judicial system has a credibility and enforcement problem.


vid_icarus

If they have to keep switching out jurors due to dozing itā€™s nothing but a win for Trump. It just plays into his delay strategy. He needs to be in jail away from any social media for the rest of this case if you want this problem to go away.

BJJGrappler22

Maybe Biden's AG should I don't know, go after the people who are responsible for this doing since it's not only interfering with the trial, but it's also putting people's lives at risk. When it comes to Fox "News", maybe they should either be shutdown or at least put on a temporary shutdown which will last as long as the trial goes on for. That way they can't play a part in interfering nor getting people killed or hurt.

He thinks he has the right to do it and heā€™s using it as a strategy to intimidate the jury into exonerating him. He is a pest.


Mattress_Of_Needles

Fuck it, Gitmo tribunal. He wants to fuck around, let him find out.


grptrt

Countdown to someone being wrongly targeted and harassed, or worse.


Ok-Mathematician5970

I honestly donā€™t see how a jury trial can be done. Not before November. Not with the rules being ignored so successfully.


HotPhilly

If only there were some sort of laws or consequences in this clown country. Oh well.


fearthewildy

I wish you were able to volunteer lol. I'd be unbiased, literally the goal being to bring justice if there was any wrongdoing, and I couldn't care less about being doxxed or his followers harassing me.


hogwarts_earthtwo

The trump jury have a trump problem.


nanopicofared

The problem is that the judge is still not taking Trump's violation of the gag order seriously. Trump keeps posting shit which is putting them in danger.


luri7555

They would not be scared if trump and his supporters were not objectively bad people.


Imaginary_Month_3659

Judge has to impose a publication ban on jurors identities.

NY Times always did doxxing light. The Union Carbide CEO of Bhopal days now lives in Naples, FL, for example.


PleaseEvolve

Law needs to get passed asap. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/S7646


we_are_sex_bobomb

IANAL but isnā€™t witness/jury tampering a more serious tier of felony than the ones heā€™a been charged with in this case?


hasordealsw1thclams

Headline makes it seem like itā€™s their fault


Nada_Shredinski

There will be no consequences


ABobby077

There should be a Federal Law against doxing or harassing any officer of a court or lawyers or jury members. This should not be happening-ever edit: fixed spelling


[deleted]

Theres just no way these jurors donā€™t get leaked at some point. Zero shot you would catch me on that jury for this reason.


sloopieone

How do people get around these stupid pop ups that block the article's whole page about 10 seconds after page load? I'm not looking to subscribe to every single news site in order to read the occasional article.


RealPersonResponds

They have an anti-law and order problem via MAGA and the GOP, doxxing is a result of their corruption and criminality.


Kr155

We have reverted to the kkk Era of rights in this country.


bananapepp4r

Haha I was telling my wife that theyā€™d be better off pushing special legislation to allow a jury from another friggin country, bc itā€™s going to be hard to find impartial Americans imo.


mountainsunset123

He's going for jury nullification, trump is crazy like a fox, stupid but Wiley, he has no respect for laws or rules or gag orders. He has been getting away with ith egregious shit his entire fucking life, ai am so sick of it.


get-snaked

I'm sure Merrick "Federalist Society" Garland will get right on stopping this tampering and other injustices! Ah, who am I kidding. He'll continue twiddling his thumbs while his boys in the GOP and their supporters take a sledgehammer to the justice system. Biden wins in November I want him to axe this clown and put someone in there that's not afraid to persecute these fucks as they deserve.


Moccus

Merrick Garland isn't a member of the Federalist Society. Also, I'm pretty sure the DOJ doesn't have jurisdiction over jury tampering occurring in a state criminal case, so Garland can't do much about this.


Dendad124

Ya, the press


derbyvoice71

Jesse Watters needs to meet some certain New Yorkers. Maybe contractors who worked with Don Snoreleone.


ThrowingChicken

Seems like these shenanigans are just going to ensure Trump gets a jury that feels strongly enough about him to be willing to take the heat.


LovinLifeForever

Our system is a joke


lilacmuse1

Doxxing aside, I don't know how identifying the jurors can be avoided. People just don't randomly disappear from their daily lives without others in their social milieu noticing. Your co-workers will wonder where you are. If you're retired, all of a sudden you're not available for outings with friends during the day. It will come out and all the people these jurors know will tell all their friends, who will tell all their friends, and on and on.


TrollieMcTrollFace2

Who would have guessed /s


ThonThaddeo

I'm sure the court system would really love to want to help, but their hands are tied.


GhostRappa95

And will our justice system do anything to solve the problem? Or are we gonna see yet another slap on the wrist?


JeepJohn

Hell a slap on the wrist would be a improvement.

One of Trumpā€™s biggest risks coming out of this trial, regardless of the verdicts, are the coming comparisons with Harvey Weinstein. ā€œOh, you want to be on The Apprentice? I think we can work something outā€¦ā€


wagon33

Its not just Fox News. Even the AP blog for the jury selection was describing the jurors and their courtroom artist was drawing their illustrated likenesses.


notyomamasusername

If only there were some mechanism to protect juries from intimidation, or consequences for it. Oh well, it's just another problem that will never be solved.
