Why are we talking about Scott P. on this thread about alt. juror @14, Russel Huekler? :waitasec:
The motion will be heard by HHJP on Thursday.I don't think he will release the names. I hope whoever filed the motion, appeals to a higher court. I don't believe HHJP will be able to keep the names sealed long term. I don't care to know, but it is the point of the matter. The names are supposed to be public record. Some of the people even expressed they wanted to serve on this Jury. These Jurors should have to face what other Jurors in high profile cases have had to face.

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet, but it looks like we will be hearing from other jurors....if the price is right...

IIRC, this sounds like juror # 6 - the chef.A publicist for the unidentified juror is sending a letter to media outlets, claiming, "Our client -- a married, college-educated, 33-year-old white male with two young children..."
Wrong - it was presented to the jury! :
As much as Tuesday's testimony, especially the contents of Peterson's car, may have made him look suspicious, some legal analysts thought the prosecution should have rested its case on a stronger note. ``I think the prosecution should have saved some of its strongest evidence for last,'' said former San Mateo County prosecutor Dean Johnson, ``so when the prosecution rests the jury still has its hair standing on end. The prosecution didn't do that.''
Some of the strongest evidence against Peterson is what most people knew even before the prosecution began its case in June:
The bodies of Laci Peterson and her unborn son washed up within a mile of where Peterson told police he had been fishing the day she vanished.
Peterson was having an affair with Frey and had told her that he had ``lost'' his wife two weeks before she actually disappeared and would be spending his first holidays without her.
Peterson's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has told the jury that Peterson was framed by the real kidnappers, who abducted Laci Peterson while she was walking their dog. They threw her in the bay after hearing Peterson's widely reported alibi.
During the course of the trial, prosecutors have tried to show that if Laci Peterson was kidnapped, the abductors had less than 10 minutes to do it. The prosecution showed cell phone records indicating Peterson left his house at 10:08 a.m. and the couple's dog turned up in front of their house with its leash still on at 10:18 a.m. Police believe Peterson planted his leashed dog to support his story that he left his wife alive and well as she prepared to take the dog for a walk.
Prosecutors also have pointed out that the remains of an 80-pound bag of cement remain unaccounted for. Peterson said he used the bag of cement to make an eight-pound anchor for his boat. Police believe he used the rest to make more anchors to weigh down his wife's body.
Prosecutors were criticized early in the case for allowing the defense to turn prosecution witnesses to their advantage numerous times in the first two months of the trial. The prosecution's case seemed to strengthen when Frey took the stand and her recorded phone calls with him were played, where he seemed more like a man on the make than a grieving husband.

So let me get this straight - the alternate juror got from thsi trial the following:
1. Casey was a good mother - how in the heck did he get that from everything we heard? Was it her words about "not ******ing crying every too seconds" or was it when her friend was crying over Caylee being missing and Casey interupted her by saying "Wow, huge waste calling you guys" - or maybe if he believed the drowning it was Casey being in Tony's arms by 6pm and in his bed the entire next day while not caring where Caylee's body went. Or perhaps it was Casey's ability to continuously lie to everyone about Caylee being alive. Or maybe it was how casey made Caylee her top priority by getting a real job and a real nanny.
2. That George gave them a weird feeling that he was involved. The prosecution showed that George could not have been involved as he did not have access to her car and had started a new job that very afternoon.
3. That there was no body in the trunk. considering the body was trippled bagged, there was still coffin wax, adipose and coffin flies and maggots in a car that had no food in it. Including a strand of Caylee's hair with a death band clear as day. The car smelled of death and was abandoned by the perp. Casey was the only one in possesion of that car.
4. They disregarded the dog hits, the chloroform searches and high levels in the car.
5. That the duct tape was ON the bag rather than on her face. What in gods good earth did they think held the jaw together?
It sounds to me they wanted to believe that she wasnt guilty at all costs.
...there was still coffin wax, adipose and coffin flies and maggots in a car that had no food in [the trunk]...including a strand of Caylee's hair with a death band clear as day.
...they disregarded the dog hits...the chloroform searches and high levels in the car.
He will be the first to write a book about the trial.
I'm fine with the jurors names staying secret if that's what they want and what Judge Perry thinks is proper. The jurors weren't elected, they didn't commit crimes or file cases in court. They were just doing their civic duty. I don't see any reason that we must know their identities. I think it's important for citizens in their positions to feel safe from retaliation if they wish. I've read posts about them possibly making money off their position as jurors and maybe that will happen, but at the same time if a future juror is afraid to vote a certain way for fear of public scorn then that could just as easily subvert justice.
