Prosecutors want the identities of future jurors in the Georgia election interference case to be shielded. That's after the grand jurors that indicted Donald Trump had their information posted online.
The investigator, Gerald Walsh, wrote that the website is known to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the site has refused to take down any of the information.
He says the names of trial jurors have traditionally been public information, at least after a verdict, if not at the onset. While Willis' motion does not seem to be asking a judge to formally seal the names, she is asking for an order to prevent the dissemination of"any verbal or written descriptions of any information that would assist persons in determining the identity of any jurors or prospective jurors."
In August, Skandalakis said transparency is a bedrock of Georgia's justice system, but it may be worth asking whether it's time for the legislature or the courts to consider mechanisms to protect jurors in specific cases. "We have an interest in making sure that people are willing to serve," Skandalakis said."And if something makes it dangerous or makes people not want to participate, that is going to impact all of us as citizens."
