That may be an option, but I really doubt there will be a need. I am pretty sure I can count at least a dozen Laffy residents on this board who have asked, many times, "what is the CajunNet, and how do I get it", so obviously not everyone is part of it. And FWIW, every community and town has its own version of the cajun net...ours are just called gossipers and busybodies. And they are many, and everyone knows some.
I agree to a degree. There are many people who are oblivious to the news, to the internet, to town gossip, and could be a part of any jury pool in any town, no matter how big the case, until the day that these same people may have a vested interest in knowing more.
I just watched a
20/20 episode on ID on how one innocent person's life was destroyed by one single person with a grudge using multiple internet usernames on a website. The subject even lost his job due to lies made to look like the truth by corroborating numbers.....one single woman who simply made up multiple screen names to defame him. The subject of the episode was finally able to win a defamation lawsuit against this single poster with multiple IDs; however, the website she posted the slander on was not held responsible by law and cannot be made by law to remove those posts. Posts to local gossip websites like the one shown in this episode of 20/20 will probably be there forever, even if they are proven in a court of law to be false.
WS asks its posters not to forward rumors, and gossip. WS posters try to use initials instead of full names here. This is the reason I come to Websleuths and not those other types of websites where their posters can post any damaging thing they like about a person using the target's full name and other sensitive, identifying information, while those posters hide behind screen names. On some sites posters can use multiple screen names on the same site to effectively corroborate lies. These other websites are not by law held accountable for what people post.
While more and more judges and courts are forbidding jurors from using the internet at all while on the case, there's nothing stopping potential jurors from looking up information on a case in two years when the case gets closer to trial.
Here's an article on internet use by jurors that essentially states that each court has to be proactive with very detailed instructions, listing everything that jurors cannot do. A difficult task. IMO
Getting off my soapbox now... I realize that I am PTTC (preaching to the choir) here.
:blushing:
MS deserves to be found and brought home to her family.
MS and her family deserve justice.
LP and her family deserve justice.
I do not want to post anything that in anyway might endanger what these victims and their families deserve.
