I Used to Just Be The Cool Mom Now I'm Also The Cool Grandma Shirt

 After the 2011 Casey Anthony murder trial ended in an acquittal, some people held signs outside the Orange County Courthouse that read, “Juror 1–12 Guilty of Murder!!!” and “Somewhere a Village is Missing 12 Idiots.”

Before the trial the judge had ruled that the identities of the jurors brought in from Pinellas County would not be released for three months, citing jury safety.

After the 2013 George Zimmerman trial in the killing of teen Trayvon Martin also ended in an acquittal, there was a national outcry including social media posts with death threats for the jurors. The Seminole County judge presiding over the trial also had ordered that the jurors could be identified only by numbers.

But what about the argument that trials should be open to public inspection, especially in high-profile cases? The Sun-Sentinel notes that jurors have not been identified in many important cases:

— The federal judge in a 1987 extortion trial for reputed Philadelphia mob boss Nicodemo “Little Nicky” Scarfo told jurors they have been kept anonymous “to make sure that you would not have any apprehensions about your safety or the safety of your families or anything else.” This practice has been used in other organized-crime and drug-cartel cases around the country.

— In 2016, a New York federal judge said there was a “serious need to protect the jury” with anonymity for the trial of a suspected al Qaeda terrorist, charged in a deadly Afghanistan bombing and accused of threatening to kill prosecutors.

— California, Colorado, and Hawaii are among states that typically keep juror identities from the public.

Yet for the most part, courts around the nation have favored the release of juror names, according to an article by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
