After grand jurors were doxed, Georgia prosecutors want Trump trial jurors shielded

..."District Attorney Fani Willis is asking Fulton Superior Judge Scott McAfee to prevent anyone from sharing the likeness or identifying personal information of prospective jurors or jurors in the election interference trial.

"It is clearly foreseeable that trial jurors will likely be doxed should their names be made public," Willis wrote in her motion Wednesday. "If that were to happen, the effect on jurors' ability to decide the issues before them impartially and without outside influence would undoubtedly be placed in jeopardy."

In an attached affidavit, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum wrote that the grand jurors were subject to harassment and threats after their home addresses, phone numbers and vehicle information were posted on a website operated by a Russian company.

At that point, Schierbaum wrote that local law enforcement enacted an operational plan to protect grand jurors, which he says is now straining agency resources. He did not detail what that security entails.

WABE reported in July that Georgia law requires that indictments list the names of grand jurors, even in controversial cases, but the Atlanta chief's affidavit suggests law enforcement took these extra steps to protect their safety only after the grand jurors had been doxed.

Doxing is a term for when a person's private information is posted online without permission to shame, embarrass or target them."...
