Washington All 12 of Roger Stone's jurors wrote in a series of powerful, anonymized statements this week that they feel harassed, afraid and do not want more information about them revealed to the public, especially after President Donald Trump and right-wing media criticized them for their conviction of the longtime Trump friend.
"I try to stay away from danger, but now it seems like the danger is coming to me," one juror, identified as Juror H, wrote in a court filing Wednesday night."This whole situation blows me away, because all that I expected before the trial was simply appearing for jury duty. I feel that I should be protected for performing my civic duty."The jurors are fighting in court to keep private forms they filled out before the trial.
