On Tuesday when seven jurors were seated the news media gave out demographic information to the extent of male or female, and what their jobs were. That was enough to have one of those seven ask to be excused today, that she feared her identity would be revealed. And along with excusing her the judge instructed media outlets to no longer give the job, neighborhood and or employer information.

One man interviewed on MSNBC this morning said he was excused because he is an artist who has satirized Trump for years. He thought he could be objective but figured as soon as they sussed out his work they would get rid of him as a juror.
