The first thing is to protect the identity of any and all prospective jurors from MAGA fascist violence.

I really thought the system would go public with the names resulting in death threats to the jurors from the nation's lowest common denominators (and a few of Putin's 'bots).

Why don't they just have the jury sequestered in a different room where they can watch the proceedings on close circuit TV? Do they actually have to be in the courtroom? That way, identifying court sketches of the jury wouldn't even have to be made because they'd be in a different room and no one would see them, anyway.

Or am I completely nuts?
