In the aftermath of the George Zimmerman verdict everyone was heard from either by news conference, television interview or by tweet -- except the jurors.
The identities of the six women who decided that Zimmerman was innocent of murder and manslaughter in the death of Trayvon Martin were sealed at the start of the racially charged trial and the court and the sheriff reminded the media after the trial that the court order is still in effect.
The roll call of the jurors sounds like a moment from a Bingo game -- B76, B37, E6, B29, E40 and B51. And during the trial the camera in the courtroom was careful to never show their faces.
There is no indication that the women will explain their verdict in public any time soon.
"Jurors were given packets of letters from the media containing interview requests. They expressed no interest at this time," the court spokeswoman tweeted out today.
The court also tweeted a warning shortly after the verdict was announced, saying, "Any attempt to identify jurors is a violation of the current order."
The warning was bolstered by a release from the Seminole County Sheriff's office reminding the media that the identities of the jurors "remain protected by order of the court.".........

They angered the Left. Their names will be leaked and no one will get in trouble for it.
Is a pity ... people must hide to protect themselves and their families. These Six Ladies Did The Right Thing and by my word and the word of the judge ... Leave These Ladies Alone!
LOL!!
I’m not sure NSA will get the chance. I figure some outraged court clerk will run a copy and sell it Monday. If he/she is smart they will re type the info and it will be near impossible to trace.
>> The court also tweeted a warning shortly after the verdict was announced, saying, “Any attempt to identify jurors is a violation of the current order.”
Judge Kangaroo is largely blowing smoke. That order is probably enforceable by law on certain folks (officers of the court, for example) — but what’s she gonna do if John and Judy Public start sleuthing around and figure it out? Notice she didn’t say it violates the *law* — just the order.
Explain what? That the prosecution had no case? That the prosecution was corrupt, withheld evidence, coerced perjury from witnesses? The real criminals are the prosecutors. Some of them should be posting bail right now.
Doubtful ... A trace will be possible.
>> Within a few weeks, the jurors will begin being identified.
My guess is, the jurors themselves will contribute to it.
How you gonna cash in if you don’t come forward?
(NOTE: I don’t begrudge them whatever they can get! Personally I WANT to know the story of the deliberations and I would probably pay to hear it.)
Not sure what you mean by “leave it be”.
they’re working on the story of the century...
it’s called “the collapse of America”
These jurors have already had their lives threatened..the best thing for them to do is law low for a few months
The Six Ladies should be left alone. They are Heroes! They protected justice and served! Leave it be.
Striking how we live in fear of black racism, this trial had all the markings of a lynch effort, yet we keep being told we are racists for minding our own business.
Sorry to say, the jurists need to be identified sooner rather than later. There is nothing more nefarious to the judicial process than secret courts and anonymous jurors.
Yep -- the media couldn't find DeeDee's name for 16 months but they will find the juror's names in weeks.
We are becoming like Mexico where cartels rule by fear. Here, it is the black race baiters and their government enablers.
I hear the food in the Moscow Airport is pretty good.
