    Some of the jury candidate descriptions listed by the Washington Post seem to get a little too close to outlining some people’s identities.

    For example:

    The ninth prospective juror is a social media marketer for Fan Duel, a sports betting app. She watches sports and reality television and her father, brother and boyfriend work in finance. She uses Goole, Facebook, X, TikTok and Instagram.

    (Emphasis mine)

    It’s not incredibly specific but it’s enough information for motivated persons to use. I mean, it only takes her LinkedIn or Facebook profile to state she’s in New York and works for Fan Duel. Next thing you know, she’ll be getting death threats.

      The bookstore shopkeeper also sounds a little specific for comfort.
