Anthony Judge Calls for Juror Privacy Act

July 28th, 2011 by flanews

The judge in the Casey Anthony case says the state doesn’t offer enough protection for jurors.

Judge Blevins Perry is asking state lawmakers to pass a law to exempt the names of jurors in high profile cases from public records. First Amendment Foundation Director Jim Rhea (RAY) says the path Perry is starting down is a dangerous one.

“If you don’t know who the jurors are, you don’t know their names and you can’t figure out who they are, then you don’t know the basis on which they make their decisions, what sort of biases they’ve had or what sort of life experiences they’ve had,” said Rhea.

Perry is keeping the names of the jurors quiet until October. He says they’ve been threatened by some who blame them for the not guilty verdict.
