NEW: Judge Merchan is now giving introductory remarks to a panel of 96 prospective jurors as Trump rests his eyes. But we’ve already seen some fireworks this morning. 1/
@lawofruby There have been way too many details already released about these people. It wouldn’t take much of a sleuth to figure out their identities. Agree with the lady’s concerns and find this simply appalling.
@JanedeVos @lawofruby Sad these jurors need to be fearful of their lives for doing their civic duty. Has this ever been the case in any other high profile case? I don’t recall any. Even OJ’s case, unless I’m oblivious?? A true sign Trump is evil and he’s somehow able to send clues to his cult.
@JanedeVos @lawofruby The media know quite well that the jurors are supposed to be unidentified (and unidentifiable), but they keep putting out information about them that no one legitimately needs. I hope the judge bashes them.
@JanedeVos @lawofruby Right!? I keep hearing more about their identities and think how are they going to protect those jurors? They need to sequester!
@JanedeVos @lawofruby Certainly their friends, families, and coworkers would know right away. A female "oncology nurse" was so specific. As was the bit about the man from Ireland.
@JanedeVos @lawofruby True, they need to adapt privacy to modern day internet access to everyone’s lives.
@JanedeVos @lawofruby Yes...and you Lisa was one of the reporters who was outsting out the juror's identities yesterday.l noticed it and wondered why you could really do that.
@JanedeVos @Kelisia @lawofruby We have no need to know their details, so releasing it as "news" seems a little malicious to me.
