Relates to protective orders for juries
S 2674 clarifies when courts can issue protective orders to shield jurors' personal information. The bill allows courts to restrict disclosure of jurors' names and addresses (only to attorneys) if they find good cause to believe threats exist to jury safety or integrity. Key factors courts must consider include whether the defendant has threatened past jurors, the severity of charges (especially for large criminal enterprises), and extensive pretrial media coverage. This directly affects jurors and potential jurors by enhancing their privacy and safety protections during criminal trials.
