Not to worry judge. Those biased mother fuckers will be outed by
the 4th of July.

The judge who presided over Derek Chauvin’s murder trial ordered
that the names of the jurors who handed down guilty verdicts against
the former Minneapolis police officer remain secret until further
notice.

In court documents made public on Friday, Hennepin County Judge
Peter Cahill ordered that the jurors' identities be sealed for at
least six months, citing concerns over possible unwanted publicity
or harassment if their identities were made public.

The order will keep under wraps a list of the jury members who found
Chauvin guilty of all three counts he faced, as well as their
profiles and questionnaires, and the identities of alternate jurors.

The 12-member jury on Tuesday convicted Chauvin of second- and
third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter in the
death of George Floyd while in police custody. Chauvin is scheduled
to be sentenced in June.

Cahill said the court and the lawyers involved in the trial have
received unprecedented levels of emails and phone calls about the
case, including some that were “incendiary, inflammatory, and [of a]
threatening nature.”

As well they should.
