When I was a juror on a murder trial, we had to hand in these cards with our name, address, employment, and other information before voir dire. I was pretty uncomfortable doing so but the defense apparently had a "right" to the information. Maybe the defense leaked the info.
Sure. We've had three weeks of borderline judicial misconduct from the prosecution, a prosecution that's done at best a poor job of proving what was already a weak case. Given that backdrop you're going to assume the defense would leak juror info? To what end? A scared jury is far more likely to return a verdict against Chauvin just to avoid the threat to their lives. It seems far more likely that if it were leaked by either side in an attempt to intimidate the jury that it would come from the state of Minnesota.
A fearful society is a compliant society. That's why Democrats and criminals prefer their victims to be unarmed. Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.
