Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had requested an order that would limit revealing jurors’ names and likenesses during any trial in the case.

A judge granted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ request to restrict identifying information about jurors in the Georgia election interference case, a new court filing shows.

In a two-page order Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee imposed strict limits regarding the identities of jurors involved in any trial in the case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants.

The court’s standing rules restrict using photographic or electronic equipment without a judge’s consent. McAfee’s order offers additional protections by prohibiting drawing in an identifiable manner or otherwise recording images, statements or conversations of jurors or prospective jurors.

    Good, it will save their lives and help produce a fair verdict.

    Trump sees himself as a 90’s monster. Threatening witnesses is totally his trademark. Not to mention sicing his more devout followers on them

      Plus just libeling and slandering them. I’m beyond sick of his bullshit like calling prosecutors doing their jobs ‘DERANGED’. Trump is a believer in ‘repeat things enough times and they become true’. With his stupid nicknames and labels, we hear them so often that it comes to mind for me when I think of the person, even though I think whatever he said was incredibly stupid. The problem is the media dutifully amplifies his message… “Trump calls Jack Smith deranged! Deranged Jack Smith!”

        Hmm, I did Nazi you mention who the pioneers of this particular propaganda technique were, and why Trump would use their tactics.

      You know very well the names will leak, and you know very well this will ruin their lives and probably end them prematurely.

      I would sit in jail for as long as necessary to avoid being on any of these juries.

    It’s pretty insane how nuts these people are. They’re willing to throw away their lives, maybe even kill others because their glorious leader is getting in trouble.

    This is fantastic news. The identities of the grand jury that indited Trump were released publicly under GA law designed for “transparency”, which is an incredibly stupid law in high profile cases.
