Sealing Jurors Names
Should be the law to keep jurors names and addresses private. It is not worth being put in danger to sit on a jury and it happens more times than not.
Should judges seal jurors
No, I don't believe they should. These people are private citizens and don't work in law enforcement. Also, I served on two jurors, and was presuured to say someone was guilty, when I knew they weren't. They got angry with me, there was too much doubt. I think the system is messed up, including the judge who sent us back in, and still refused to change my verdict. They just want to save money, and go home at the expense of the defendant.

Never again
Over the years, I have had jury duty a few times but, I will never do it again. Things are way to crazy now and since privacy is not possible, count me out. It is very easy to get out of jury duty. Just tell the truth (in my case).
