Those calls came after numerous media outlets reported potentially identifying biographical information about the woman, including her job and the neighborhood she called home. Fox News Jesse Watters highlighted the juror’s details while reading through public pool notes about the selected members. “This nurse scares me if I’m Trump,” Watters said.
Holy shit did Fox News just intimidate a juror in a high profile trial?
Edit - just got to this bit
Other outlets including NBC News, CNN, CBS News, and ABC News also publicized details about the juror, including additional identifying information.
What the fuck? How is this even in the public domain?
I walked by a tv at work today on CNN.
They were literally discussing the profession and reading habits of a juror.
Big ass question mark greyed out female, and a host making the biggest deal over the fact a juror reads NYT.
It’s fucking scary I’d drop the fuck out too. These piranhas are gonna oust any information about you for views. The news is beyond a joke, completely agree with you, how this is public domain and tolerated is more telling to our status as a nation.
This is going to be the delay he wants if the US media goes full OJ here. Which they likely will - some to benefit Trump, all for the views. Juror protection be damned.
I think that the mafia uses similar tactics as a part of their defense strategy when on trial.
They don’t exactly move in different circles
I honestly would trust the Mafia in charge over republicans.
At least the mob generally has something that halfway kind of sort of a little bit resembles lines they won’t cross.
The mob is also competent
I’m dead fucking serious. If you had to pick that total fucking caricature of a mob boss or Trump to run this country. Hand to fucking god which one do you choose.
I would choose the protagonist of any of the ‘yakuza’ games over either leading presidential candidate.
I mean, yah? They are written as criminals with hearts of gold.
so you admit that’s better than american presidents?
Fat Tony without even a fraction of hesitation. It’s actually difficult for me to think of many people, real or fictional, I’d choose Trump over. I’d rather have Skeletor.
I’d rather have Skeletor.
Would make for an interesting watch, seeing his run for the presidency.
He’d be rejected by both parties, though. Too evil for Democrats, not evil enough for Republicans.
the only maybes are like biden Hitler netenyahu.I’d choose Mao in a heartbeat. id consider pol pot (and I wear glasses)
Fuck the courts for letting public have access to that info.
Exactly, knowing ahead of time all of this should have been sealed by default. Anytime the defendant/case is this high profile the whole thing should be sealed off to contain this circus.
It doesn’t matter. Trump will literally call them out himself. And nothing will happen when he does.
The system is broken. It is not breaking, it is fucking BROKEN.
Fox News committing stochastic terrorism, again?
No no no. This is just witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Oh, and stochastic terrorism, yes. So, yes.
How the fuck is this legal?
If they face no consequences, it’s legal! Ish. Y’know.
Anything that doesn’t have consequences is legal.
Can we complain to the FCC or something? This is crazy…
dude, the law will never be on the side of justice. look at the past decade, tell me I’m wrong.
If they get one or two of these Jurors KILLED they’re going to get a VERY STERN letter from the Judge!
