Well, I think this case should be classified as a special case, thats for sure.
Why? Casey Anthony is not special in any way, shape or form.

Bottom line is it's the law that the names are to be public. Should we just ignore the law because something bad might happen? Please. This silly hysteria about raving mobs waiting to kill and injure people is nonsense. There is no proof that anything like that will happen. Let's not label the public as irrational nutjobs when FCA is the criminal in this case.moo
Are Grand Jury members name made public?
I mean its pretty bad when the media has had to like almost quell and plead to their viewers to not do something rash! Imo, I think a lot of rage comes not because Casey is free, its that some were wrong and just cant deal with it in a healthy way. Thats why I think if any laws come out of this it should be to protect juries from online and real threats.
BBM - Seriously? IMO she's a murderer. IMO I'm not wrong! Not guilty is not the same as innocent.
No I respectfully disagree. We can never make exceptions in our system of justice except in very rare instances where there is real and necessary need. To do so removes the integrity of the system. NEVER.
This case is not special. That is what Baez made the jury believe. But they are not special, this case was not special.
The reaction to the verdict makes this case special and/or different IMO.
But I agree they should be released, just not right away, not in any case right away. And when they are released, it should not be annouced, just let those who are looking for the public records go and find them if they really want them. I don't think any jurors names need to be published in the media, for example. Those who have legitimate issues or questions will get the info and those who are overcome with emotion by a verdict will have had a chance to rethink any hasty reactions. JMO
No.
Grand Juries serve a special function and have special investigative powers.
Grand Juries do not decide guilt or innocence.
Even so, the issue of Grand Jury secrecy was (and maybe still is) contested. (EDit: and I am astonishingly sure that I have heard of more incidents of tampering with our secret Grand Juries than I have ever heard with our regular juries).
To be clear... you want them to follow the law, just not right now?
No, my preference would be that the law always allows a period of time before jurors names are released. I don't mean just in this case.
So again, you are in favor of following the law and the constition, but just not right now.
I suspect most of us are here because we want to see the good guys win and the bad guys go to jail. Usually the bad guys are the ones who break the laws. This particular thread is not about a missing little girl and a mom who felt she could do whatever the hell she wanted. This thread is about a bunch of missing jurors and a judge who feels he can ignore the law based upon nothing more significant than his feelings and fears. The victim in this thread wasn't found with duct tape, she is wearing a blindfold.
That's right the judge did seal those names from the earlier trial. Were they ever unsealed?I can't acces this site but it says: The Joyful Child Foundation in Memory of Samantha Runnion - General ... The
jurors did what they were instructed to do, don't think the blame lies on them.
... It's a good thing the judge has sealed their names, so many angry people and

No indication about how long the cooling off period will be? Could it be months?
Please don't tell me what I am in favor of, that is not what I said. I said I wish the law already existed that made a waiting period for the names of all jurors to be released, in any trial.
