Does the court have to give out all the personal information

about the jurors? Can't they keep their occupations secret? Can't they keep everything secret? Only the lawyers on each side should get the information and then be bound not to release it.

I saw this coming when the MSM gave a breakdown about who the 7 jurors were, it's too easy to figure out their identities.

That directly leads to harassment of the jurors or the ones not on the jury. The harassment is a form of tampering.

Should have definitely did it the first seven. Today the ones chosen should not go home until trial is over.

...no one other than the attorneys and the court should have any unneccesary info about them.

It is not far-fetched to say their lives at risk from trump's unstable followers, especially with him egging on those followers.

Information will be shared, with some glee, by Faux News personalities.

Right wing media will zealously guard the privacy of jurors they think lean toward Trump.
