    Carroll v. Trump, judge ruled that not even Trump’s lawyer gets to know the jurors’ names, fearing that Trump may incite his supporters to harm or intimidate the jurors.

    “Anonymous jurors” are used in some terrorism and organized crime cases, but supposedly exceedingly rare in civil proceedings.

      Prudent. Given the proliferation of bad behavior these days it will probably become the standard.

        I recall in the OJ trial, a sliver of the back of one juror's head was exposed on camera (gray curls). The judge had a cow. I don't remember how it was resolved, but IIRC there was some debate about possibly taking the cameras out of the courtroom -- which he didn't do.

          That makes me think of scenes from Scorsese’s The Irishman. No surprise since Trump is not at all unlike Jimmy Hoffa as far as personality and temperament.

            A very valid observation.
