Trump juror quits over fear of being outed after Fox News host says she should scare Trump

I think that the mafia uses similar tactics as a part of their defense strategy when on trial.

Fox News committing stochastic terrorism, again?

Holy shit did Fox News just intimidate a juror in a high profile trial?

Edit - just got to this bit

Other outlets including NBC News, CNN, CBS News, and ABC News also publicized details about the juror, including additional identifying information.

What the fuck? How is this even in the public domain?

Fuck the courts for letting public have access to that info.

If the courts don't immediately arrest and charge this person with juror intimidation/tampering then it's all over. The fascist mob will figure out who the jurors are and threaten their families en masse because there will be no consequences.

At what point does this become jury tampering? Veiled threats should never be taken lightly, especially since Fox is an entertainment organization and not news, as they've argued in court previously.

How the fuck is this legal?

Using terrorism to protect a criminal (again). The Republican Party cannot possibly be redeemed.

Can we complain to the FCC or something? This is crazy...

If they get one or two of these Jurors KILLED they're going to get a VERY STERN letter from the Judge!

All according to plan.

I've read that Jury Tampering has a very low bar in New York. Pretty sure Watters just crossed it.

So 90% of a jury of his peers fucking hate him, and will conclude he did the crime. Oh my God, sounds like he's going to jail. You really need to keep churning the group until you find the select few who think he's innocent of a crime? The obviousness says something.

And, no, haters, this is not what jury selection looks like. 10 years as a trial lawyer, and never ONCE were any of my selections broadcast on TV. This shit should illegal.

Watters has alleged without evidence that "liberal activists" are lying to get on the jury, a claim that Trump himself has repeated on Truth Social, potentially violating a gag order.

It's like they saw Trump, Giuliani and Alex Jones all get absolutely fucked in court for defamation, contemplated their own settlement with Dominion and the 2.7 billion dollar lawsuit pending from Smartmatic, and said to themselves "now seems like a good time to endanger innocent people by spewing inflammatory bullshit."

Not that I expect them to learn a lesson if they aren't bankrupted or actually sent to prison.

This Watters dude is so smug. I hate his guts. His existence bothers me.

It's like a totally lawless country already, the laws exist but don't matter/aren't enforced, your police are all too busy hiding their own crimes to actually do any real police work (and they don't know how any more anyway), and the news, mortally terrified by their own financial situation, increasingly cross lines that'd have been suicide even ten years ago.

I wish you fucks would get serious. Some of us Canadians are talking about burning down your white house again. (And yes, it was us - we don't draw a hard line between us and the empire that delivered us here, on account of having ended the relationship like grownups and not with the stupid, arrogant violence that still infects your society today)

I can't help but contemplate that jurors are concerned about being publicly identified in a case involving a former president. Typically, you would only see that happen in a case involving violent organized crime.

I would be fucking THRILLED if the judge puts a universal gag order on publication of ANY juror details.

Does this kind of jury tampering increase the risk of a mistrial?

I wonder why they don't just clear the courtroom of reporters during juror selection and let them back in for the actual trial.

This is the clown that popped a girls tire so he could drive her right?

Insane

you can quit a jury???

Based gangster
