There is no way to know the intent of an individual that is stalking a juror. Following the van that the jury is riding in and running a red light to keep up with the van, is stalking. And this is not legal while a jury trial is still on-going. It looks like an attempt to intimidate or tamper with the jury. Media very specifically cannot do this while a trial is still on. Once the jury has delivered their verdict to the judge, then they are no longer protected, but while they are still a sitting jury, it is a crime to attempt to contact or influence a jury member. The media should know this and the judge was correct in barring the employer of the journalist, whether they are a full employee or freelancer, from the trial. MSNBC will be lucky if they don't file charges for attempting to tamper or influence the jury against them. The freelancer should have waited until the jury had reached a verdict and delivered it to the judge and then he would not be violating any laws. |
If you have access to a LexisNexis database which the news and their legal team almost certainly does they can look up the owner of the license plate and get their information. |

Biden called him a white supremacist. That’s all the establishment of fact needed. Rittenhouse IS a white supremacist. Period. |
Whatever was going on with that freelancer, I think we can all agree that it would be irresponsible not to speculate. |
Now Matt Gaetz wants to offer Kyle a confessional internship. Wowza. |
Truth is an absolute defense to libel. I guess you didn’t go to law school. |
I guess Gaetz doesn’t know this kid kills sex offenders. |
So? It’s not a crime to follow a publicly owned bus and it’s not a crime to photograph people in public where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. This is what a legitimate press organization does - they uncover things in the public interest that are being unethically hidden. The names and images of the jury members are relevant to the public interest regarding this case. The media is doing it’s job. The public has a right to know who these jurors are, their names, where they live. These are people in their community and the public has a right to be informed about them. Now the judge has committed an extreme violation of the first amendment in prohibiting a credible news agency from covering the trial. This outrage will not be permitted to stand. And this judge has sealed his own fate for disbarment from the bench. |
Jurors have an expectation of privacy while the trial is ongoing. To seek them out while they are doing their job can be seen as akin to jury tampering. It's illegal. |
That’s a lot of “what if’s” there. And all of that would be prohibited by law anyway. |
No, they don’t. And if one of my neighbors voted to acquit someone like KR, I’d want to know about it. They have no expectation of privacy, nor should they. They are accountable for their decision as part of a jury, and they damn well better remember that. And be reminded of it. |
You are scary as hell. Knowing there are people out there like you keeps me awake at night. |
Utter nonsens. The scope of that finding is very narrow and not applicable to at large arguments of juror privacy. Read further. |
