Anonymous Jury to Protect Jurors in Trump Rape Case
TL;DR Summary
A New York federal judge has ordered that the jurors in the rape lawsuit against former President Donald Trump brought by journalist E. Jean Carroll will remain anonymous due to credible threats of violence from Trump and his followers. The judge cited the Jan. 6 insurrection and Trump's history of stoking tensions with the justice system as reasons for the decision. The jurors' names, addresses, and places of employment will not be revealed, and they will be escorted by the U.S. Marshals Service at all times during the trial.
