Business Insider ^ | January 26, 2024 | Brent D. Griffiths and Laura Italiano

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan capped off an at times surreal day in federal court with one final piece of advice for jurors who had just found that former President Donald Trump must pay $83.3 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll.

"My advice to you is that you never disclose that you were on this jury, and I won't say anything more about it," Kaplan said after the verdict was read.

It'll be a matter of time before their identities will be revealed.

Now that the jury can read all the info they were not privy to, wonder if they can sleep at night.
I know I wouldn’t be able to.

= = =

Well, if Trump would just say, “Don’t tell anyone who the jurors were,” . . .

Will the Judge say, “Do what Trump says?”

The jurors need to be doxxed.

And made to pay for the evil they’ve done

"My advice to you is that you never disclose that you were on this jury, and I won't say anything more about it,"

Well duh.

All criminals do not want anyone that saw or heard anything the criminal did and to keep their mouth shut.

The judge's warning was not about watching out for the general public so much as it is in the context of a "Seth Rich" unfortunate isolated accident.

Nothing to see here, move along, roust, roust!

“The jurors need to be doxxed.”

Agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if an anonymous patriot within the system released that info one of these days.

I figure that particular jury would have voted the same way no matter how much truth they were given. It was NY, right? And they’ll sleep just fine.

They’ll leak some names and party affiliations out, saying half the jury were Republicans.

I know how these media stories operate, been watching and studying them for years.

There’s plenty of NYers who are conservative minded- just fewer than the DemoRats there.

Well, now Trump can be called a rapist when defaming the victim in all political discussion. Think ‘they’ will still try to make him run for office from a prison cell?

No need to steal an election this time around. Too many ‘sensitive’ people and the polarization of the Republicans candidate will ensure not enough votes go to that candidate. Hell, white guilt got 0bama elected- what do we think will happen here?

Too bad for you that you can’t hide your identity from being the kangaroo judge on the case.

What about the right to face your accusers? How can the jurors be anonymous to the defense and their attorneys and how can a publicly brought and paid for case have anonymous jurors?

Sounds just like what I had heard about Illinois. The state is all Republican except for that bunch of traitors in Chicago & Springfield.
