California's experiment with paying #jurors $100/day instead of $15/day looks to end after only 8 months. https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/05/jury-duty-pay-california-budget/

#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.”

A hero in a quiet way, and a reminder that this government is not the same as the government who pursued her.

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.

Note:

“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.”

Except from Judge Merchan’s decision re jurors

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.”

On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.

Prosecutors showed the jury the laptop belonging to Hunter that has long been a target of #RightWing activists & politicians, spurred by #Trump & #RudyGiuliani’s #ConspiracyTheories.

T****'s #Brownshirts are going after #Witnesses, #Judges, #Prosecutors, and #Jurors.

Supporters of #ConvictedFelon Donald T**** are now #doxxing Michael #Cohen AND his wife & #KIDS. 🤬 (#ProLifeMyAss)

This is a continuation of a LONG history of T****'s #Brownshirts threatening violence against #prosecutors and even #JURORS on his cases.

I REMIND EVERYONE that these same people refuse to believe T**** Supporters were the ones who actually attacked the Capitol on #Jan6. #AntiFa #NormalTouristVisit

…Many #jurors said they had read or seen headlines about Hunter Biden’s #gun case over the yrs in local & natl news, but few said they delved into the details. One woman, selected as an alternate, said she first learned #HunterBiden was going to trial on Mon …on her drive over to the courthouse.
 She told the court that many of her relatives are gun owners & that she has lost multiple friends to drug #addiction. “I feel it’s an everyday part of the world nowadays,” she said.

#law #USpol

…The responses of dozens of prospective jurors to questions in open court reflected some of the most pervasive & divisive issues in American society, w/jurors discussing their views on #gun ownership & #mistrust of the #judicial process.

And in a trial where the #criminal defendant has been public about his struggles w/ drug #addiction, the #jurors told the court about similar battles fought by their parents, children & friends.

Judge Maryellen Noreika swore in 12 #jurors — + 4 alternates — to determine the #legal fate of #HunterBiden, who is on trial for 3 #felony #gun charges….
 A substitute #teacher, a fmr #SecretService employee & multiple #GunOwners were among those chosen to report back to court Tues morning, when opening arguments are expected to begin.…Most were people of color, &…appeared to range from mid-20s to 70s.

#law #addiction #grief

#Trump supporters tried to #dox #jurors last week after his #conviction, & they also targeted #prosecutors & the #judge, Justice #Merchan, in the case w/ #threats. During the trial, the mother of a fmr police officer, #MichaelFanone, who was nearly killed on #Jan6, 2021, by *rioters* who believed Trump's lies about the #2020election was "#swatted" after her son called Trump "an authoritarian" w/ "a violence fetish."
