Description

Juror information confidential. Provides that a court may in a criminal trial, upon the motion of either party or its own motion, and for good cause shown, issue a protective order regulating the disclosure of personal information of a juror to any person other than the counsel for either party. Good cause shown includes, but is not limited to, a likelihood of bribery, tampering, or physical injury to or harassment of a juror. "Personal information" is defined as any information collected by the court, clerk, or jury commissioner including, but not limited to, a juror's name, age, occupation, home and business addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and any other identifying information that would assist another in locating or contacting the juror.
