If they’re harassed or injured as a result, can they sue the judge personally?
constitutionally you have the right to face the accuser and that includes not having secret juries.
This was inevitable, correctly so.
the jurrors are always advised they do not have to speak to the press.
If anything, every juror should have the right to say no ONCE and the media obligated to comply. If anything the “no contact/interviews” request could be part of the court record.
And what about other people who happen to have the same names? Can they sue the judge, too, if the Sons of Obama attack them?
I certainly hope so!
I don’t know...but I would certainly try to do so should the necessity arise!
Wonder if this applies to Mafia murder trials.
And how can this not affect future juries? I might fight being on a jury if my name might be made public. It might also affect the outcome of the trial if the jurors know that their names might be made public. So much for justice and a fair trial.
If I were one of the jurors and I were threatened or worse, I’d know exactly who I’d blame.
