Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had requested an order that would put limitations on revealing jurors’ names and likenesses during any trial in the case.
Willis' office and counsel for a group of media intervenors who had opposed the district attorney's request consented to the order, Monday's filing notes.
The media coalition, which included the Associated Press, CBS News, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, had asked for a more limited order, arguing that Willis' request would restrict the ability of news organizations to meaningfully report on the jury selection process.Willis this month made her request toduring any upcoming trial.
Willis said that"it is clearly forseeable" that trial jurors would be doxed if their named were made publicly available, adding that doxing would jeopardize jurors' ability to make impartial decisions in the case without external influence"both placing them in physical danger and materially affecting all of the Defendants’ constitutional right to fair and impartial jury.”
