Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis is asking the court to protect prospective jurors in her criminal case against former President Donald Trump and 18 others indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
The Hill reported that Willis filed a petition with the court Wednesday seeking to "[p]revent any [d]efendant, members of the press, or any other person from videotaping, photographing, drawing, or otherwise creating or publishing images of the jurors or prospective jurors inside or outside the courtroom."
The report said she also wants the court to stop defendants, press, or others from "publishing any verbal or written descriptions of any information that would assist persons in determining the identity of any jurors or prospective jurors, specifically physical descriptions, telephone numbers, addresses, employer names, and membership affiliations of all jurors or prospective jurors."
According to The Hill, the filing included affidavits from Atlanta Chief of Police Darin Schierbaum and the assistant chief investigator of the DA's office technology unit regarding alleged "doxing and harassment" experienced by Willis and the grand jury members responsible for the indictments.
"The effects of the widespread national and international media coverage on individuals associated with this case is real and substantial," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Willis writing in the 14-page motion.
Willis said grand jurors in the case had personal information published across websites "with the intent to harass and intimidate them."
The almost 100-page indictment was handed down on Aug. 14, accusing Trump and the others of violating the state's Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization statute, which is normally used to prosecute organized crime figures and drug-ring kingpins, the Associated Press reported at the time.

I didn’t think this was legal in Georgia?
She is “RUNNING WITH THE BIT IN HER TEETH”
Aren’t Grand Jury members secret???
ONLY the court system could have let any info out.
I would imagine that it is generally legal in all states, though not often requested.
While they’re at it, perhaps they should prevent the defense from even knowing who the jury is. Certainly, they can’t be trusted to assist in jury selection.
The names of GA GJ members are released to the public as a matter of routine. It may not have been a wise move in this instance.
The ho is worried about her worthless ass “jurors” but so far 10 inmates have died this year in her POS jail. Her ass needs to be put in jail.
The evil is many people today is unfathomable ... case in point
>> The names of GA GJ members are released to the public as a matter of routine.
GJ identities are already out, in accordance with Georgia law. I think she’s trying to keep the TRIAL jurors under wraps, even before they’re chosen. I have no idea what Georgia law says about trial jurors.
>> Her ass needs to be put in jail.
Or something.
Pretty good idea. The fire this stupid bitch is playing with has a very good chance of burning them all. One crazy person could certainly hurt a bunch of people based on this stupid bitch's reckless actions.
FAT FANNY, THE RACIST DA!
The "non wise" move was bringing bullsh*t charges against a serious man like Trump based on the urgings of a corrupt Biden regime.
Let us hope the actions of this stupid bitch do not trigger violence.
“Let us hope the actions of this stupid bitch do not trigger violence.”
From the moral right? Don’t worry, nothing will trigger them, nothing ever does.
To just lay down and be stomped to death is God’s will.
I don’t think she is talking about the Grand Jury members, I think she is talking about the to be selected jurors for the trial. It is much harder to have a secret trial if too much information is available.
They need protection from the left threatening to kill their pets if they don’t rule a certain way.
Willis must fear someone will see the 3x5 card with the Juror instructions on how to vote?.
2020 never ends it just changes names
No, Trump just wanted a fair counting of the votes.
Is this so she can hand-pick the jurors from a pre-approved list?
