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.
