Just to crystallize this further: These people were coerced into being in that room; when they realized who the defendant was, they had no way of opting out; they're private citizens, not public figures, and yet couldn't opt out of mass media coverage. This is unethical.

And they also had no idea they needed to or the capability to lock down their personal lives, perhaps getting security for their families the way the judges and DAs have.

Why is the jury not protected sub judice? Or do you not have that law in the US?

I’m in my 40’s and I got a jury summons once, in my early 20’s, and, when they asked, I said I wouldn’t take a police officer’s testimony as fact and I haven’t been called for jury duty since. I kind of wonder about that sometimes.

I have to say that responsibility here lies with the judge. Who could have been more exposed to what this monster can do than the judge and he still fails to deal the proceedings?

Several of them did opt out, arguing that on reflection they did not think they could be unbiased. We'll never know if they were truthful or just wanted to be out of the crosshairs (or both, you're not unbiased if you fear the mob's revenge). I can't fathom why the Court did not protect them more.

They were not coerced IF it is a citizen's civic duty to be available for jury service AND they don't get to know who is on trial when they agree to turn up. Or is there something else going on here, like court officials trying to cover something up?

Do you not get called to jury service in the USA, as you do elsewhere; given reasonable notice that you will be needed on a specific date? And given the option to decline (on a very limited set of grounds). Or is the US method more like a Press Gang of old, where they round 'em up from the street?

If by coerced you mean doing their civic duty, you are correct. A duty that is a part of citizenship.

We also have to pay taxes. Plenty of people don't have enough food. It's not unethical, it's necessary and sometimes you are the one that takes the punch. Consequence of being alive.

where I live there are certain courts where you can be forced to serve on a jury on capital murder cases for extremely violent organized crime groups with little to no jury protection and the courts absolutely do not give a fuck
