#Jurors

2025-11-17

Fitzpatrick raised sharp doubts about an account of the #GrandJury proceedings provided by the #DOJ & whether it had turned over all records of the interactions between #LindseyHalligan & the grand #jurors. He noted that Halligan had claimed she had her last contact with the grand jury at 4:28PM that day, while the jurors were deliberating.

"Orrick is a big corporate law firm that represents the kinds of companies that might find their future in the hands of a jury in a state or federal courthouse. Orrick periodically surveys representative samples of people who show up for jury service to get a picture of their attitude towards the kinds of companies that can afford to hire a firm like theirs:
(...)
Their latest report contrasts the results of a pre-pandemic 2019 survey with a 2025 survey of 1,011 jurors in California, Florida, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, New Jersey, and New York.

They found that jurors' trust in the court system has plummeted since 2019 (67% in 2019, 48% in 2025); hostility to cops has tripled (11% to 33%); anti-corporate sentiment is way up (27% then, 45% now). The percentage of jurors who believe that they should use the courts to "sent messages to companies to improve their behavior" has risen from 58% to 62%; and 77% want to award punitive damages to "punish a corporation" (up from 69%).

And jurors are notably hostile to pharma companies, energy companies and large banks, but they especially hate social media companies.

It's no wonder that corporations are so desperate to take away our right to sue them, and why "binding arbitration" clauses that permanently confiscate your legal rights are now part of every corner of modern life:"

After a Grisly , Are Left With Mental Scars & Few Resources

"One study found that symptoms of — such as anxiety, feeling emotionally drained & sleep issues — occurred in as many as 50% of jurors who served on difficult cases. For some people, these symptoms persisted for months or even years."

No counseling, can't talk to anyone abt the case

“We get nothing but a ‘Thank you for your service,’” she said, “and then we walk away.”

California's experiment with paying #jurors $100/day instead of $15/day looks to end after only 8 months. calmatters.org/justice/2025/05

#Jurors concerned they were contacted out of court by aggressive attorneys for high profile #Scientologist #Hollywood TV #sitcom star on trial for violent #sexcrimes who eventually was given life in #California #prison.

One #jury member wrote to the court that she had been contacted by defense attorney Shawn Holley. She expressed confusion about whether she could talk to him, and she didn’t understand how Holley had figured out who she was.

The court received an email from another juror. "Some of the #jurors have been visited at their homes by #DannyMasterson's Appeal team. We thought our information was going to be #sealed," the email said, adding, "We are concerned."

A #Scottish #neoNazi who amassed an #armoury at his home with which to launch an #attack on the #LGBTQ+ #community, is facing a lengthy #jail #sentence after being found #guilty of #terrorism charges.

The #jurors heard that 54-year-old #AlanEdward, held “a set of ideals with a #neoNazi #outlook, incorporating notions of #whitesupremacy, the notion of #racialpurity of #whites, #racism, #antisemitism, and #hatred of #homosexuals and #transgender #people.”

An #Arizona #GrandJury that indicted 18 #TrumpAllies this spring for their role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election had expressed interest in possible charges against #Trump, acc/to a #legal motion filed this wk.

It is unclear how many of the #jurors were in favor of indicting Trump, who by then had been federally charged for his attempts to subvert #Biden’s win. The interest prompted the AZ case’s lead prosecutor to give a PowerPoint & request that jurors not indict Trump.

Here is a relevant page from decision.
“Nonetheless, there is ample #evidence to justify continued concern for the #jurors. Therefore, the #protections set forth in this Court's #ProtectiveOrder of March 7, 2024, Regulating Disclosure of Juror Information will remain in effect until further order of this Court.”

6-25-2024 Gag order DECISION

The basis for the issuance of the Orders was to protect the integrity of the judicial proceedings. As this Court recognized in its Order of April 1, 2024, “the threats to the integrity of the judicial proceeding are no longer limited to the swaying of minds, but also to the willingness of individuals, both private and public, to perform their lawful duty before this Court.” Decision and Order dated April 1, 2024, p. 2. Both Orders were narrowly tailored to address the significant concerns regarding the Defendant’s extrajudicial speech. The Orders were overwhelmingly supported by the record, and it was upon that record that the Appellate Division First Department and the New York Court of Appeals kept the Orders intact. However, circumstances have now changed. The trial portion of these proceedings ended when the verdict was rendered, and the jury discharged. Therefore, Paragraph (a) is terminated without opposition by the People. As to Paragraph (c), while it would be this Court’s strong preference to extend those protections, the Court cannot do so on what is now a different record than what the appellate courts relied upon when the rendered their rulings. Therefore, Paragraph (c) must be terminated. -

Pragraph (b), this Court notes that while witness testimony has concluded, a verdict has been rendered, and the jury discharged - the proceedings are not concluded. This matter has been set down for the imposition of sentence on July 11, 2024.

Except from Judge Merchan’s decision re jurors
2024-06-25

Prosecutors w/Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg's office said limits on Trump's speech about trial witnesses were no longer needed. But they urged Justice Juan #Merchan to keep in place restrictions on his comments about #jurors, #CourtStaff & individual #prosecutors, citing risks to their #safety.

Poor Donny! None of the jurors smiled at him during his trial. 😫
He must have been so emo.
Seriously, I served as a juror in a 3-day civil case in a minor property dispute. We were told not to interact with anybody in the courtroom unless the judge instructed us to do so; and that never happens except during juror screening.
Trump is just being a crybaby whiner again.

“You had 12 #jurors come to a #unanimous conclusion, & the former president was #guilty of 34 #felonies, & that, that somehow is indication of weaponization when that was a #state prosecution that had nothing to do w/President #Biden or the Dept of #Justice,” Jeffries said. “The American people understand that we need more common sense & less chaos in Washington, DC.”
