Jurors in upcoming Trump sex assault trial to remain anonymous

The jury that will weigh allegations that former President Donald Trump sexually assaulted writer E. Jean Carroll at trial next month in Manhattan will remain anonymous through the duration of the case, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

Judge Lewis Kaplan found that if the identities of the jurors were publicly known, they’d likely face intense media scrutiny as well as harassment and threats by supporters of Trump, 76.

“Indeed, Mr. Trump himself has made critical statements on social media regarding the grand jury foreperson in Atlanta, Georgia, and the jury foreperson in the Roger Stone criminal case,” he wrote.

Kaplan issued the order in response to two news organizations that had requested the jurors’ names be made publicly available for the Manhattan federal trial that’s scheduled to begin on April 25.

His ruling added: “This properly may be viewed in the context of Mr. Trump’s many statements regarding individual judges, the judiciary in general, and other public officials, as well as what reports have characterized as ‘violent rhetoric’ by Mr. Trump including before his presidency.”

Judge gives Trump anonymous jury in defamation trial, citing potential harassment

Washington Examiner

A U.S. district judge in Manhattan ordered an anonymous jury for rape accuser E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial against former President Donald Trump, citing the risk of jury harassment and Trump's reaction to the possibility of being indicted in a separate case.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said details such as the names, places of employment, and addresses of jurors in the trial slated for April 25 would be shielded from public record, adding that the members would be transported in a group to and from the courthouse.

The Jurors should be anonymous, so he ruled correctly in the end, but the stuff about protecting them from Trump is 100% bullshit.  The Left, however, is famous for their intimidation of Jurors.

Right. Why couldn't he just say "to protect the jurors" and leave it at that? The judge doesn't know, or doesn't want to know, the left wing intimidation of jurors and witnesses for the defense in the Chauvin trial

About this case, none of knows if this woman's claim is legit or not but I suspect her lawyers will play that tape were he's talking about grabbing women by the genitalia

Trump could lose this one.

We ALL know that someone from or connected to the DA's office is going to release their names and addresses when  they lose the case.

And the DA will investigate those leaks for at least 15 seconds,10 of which will be spent laughing with  glee.
