A juror in former US president Donald Trump’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.
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.
Fox News engaging in some *light* jury tampering
Sounds like the journalist pool has a doxxing problem.
Imagine if Gotti had a patsy who would go and air out personal details of his jury on national TV.
If Faux News doxes all the jurors that it suspects might vote to convict trump, then who will be left on the jury?
“Trump Jury has a Doxing Problem”
Media: “It’s coming from inside the house.”
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.
At this point all the regular good people are gonna get thrown off the jury.
Who could have seen this coming 🤯
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
The jury should be sequestered and there should be a press embargo on any identifying details about specific jurors.
They would not be scared if trump and his supporters were not objectively bad people.
By design
there is a mafia boss on the lose and nobody is doing anything about it
that s the only problem
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.
Judge has to impose a publication ban on jurors identities.
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.
I feel like this headline should be corrected, and read we have a right wing domestic terrorism problem.
I hate to say it, but I don’t believe anything serious will happen until a juror or witness is murdered.
Remove all electronics from this clown. He’s like a child and can’t be left alone with them
The judge needs to kick reporters out of there during jury selection. It’s his duty to make sure they aren’t vulnerable.
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.
Only if the Judge does not take swift and decisive action against anyone who leaks information, be it Trump, his lawyers, court staff, Trump’s Secret Service Goons….
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.
NY Times always did doxxing light. The Union Carbide CEO of Bhopal days now lives in Naples, FL, for example.
He thinks he has the right to do it and he’s using it as a strategy to intimidate the jury into exonerating him.
He is a pest.
Oddly enough they didn’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..
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.
Countdown to someone being wrongly targeted and harassed, or worse.
Every juror that feels intimidated or threatened needs to bring suit.
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.
I honestly don’t see how a jury trial can be done. Not before November. Not with the rules being ignored so successfully.
The judicial system has a credibility and enforcement problem.
If only there were some sort of laws or consequences in this clown country. Oh well.
If they have to keep switching out jurors due to dozing it’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.
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.
Any news media outlet that doxes a jurist should face severe penalties and possible arrest for those who authorized it.
