Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had requested an order that would limit revealing jurors’ names and likenesses during any trial in the case.

A judge granted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ request to restrict identifying information about jurors in the Georgia election interference case, a new court filing shows.

In a two-page order Monday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee imposed strict limits regarding the identities of jurors involved in any trial in the case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants.

The court’s standing rules restrict using photographic or electronic equipment without a judge’s consent. McAfee’s order offers additional protections by prohibiting drawing in an identifiable manner or otherwise recording images, statements or conversations of jurors or prospective jurors.

    You know very well the names will leak, and you know very well this will ruin their lives and probably end them prematurely.

    I would sit in jail for as long as necessary to avoid being on any of these juries.

      Thank you for admitting your cowardice. I’d welcome the challenge of it, and be honored to be in the select group of people able to actually hold him accountable
