A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“The indictment issued Monday lists the names of the grand jury members but not their addresses or other personal information.”
Maybe including their names isn’t such a great idea? Can’t they seal them so that only legal parties are aware? This precedent is jury tampering for all future cases
It’s a law specific to Georgia. An article about it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/15/fulton-county-jurors-names-public-threats-trump/
Not to mention, if you post legal name and the juror has voted, then their address is already public record. Shedding a light on it like this is purely malicious.
Why is their address already public?
No fucking idea why we did this, but it’s out there for sale by our own government. I recall on an old reddit post in Atlanta, someone posted a full history of the 2020 election that can be connected back to your first voting address and parent’s names. You can see where this becomes a HUGE security fuck up.

Yeah they are right there on page 9 of the indictment
