Juror 83 Is First Tsarnaev Juror To Speak About Trial Experience, Death Penalty Decision
"BOSTON The judge in the Boston Marathon bombing trial has rejected a motion brought by The Boston Globe and joined by WBUR to publicly release the names of the trial jurors.
In a ruling Monday, the judge said the list would remain under seal while the defense seeks a motion for a new trial. The judge stated that because the defense wants to examine social media activity of trial jurors, releasing the jurors names will enable reporters to interview the jurors and muddle the inquiry with headlines and evening news. Neither the defense nor the prosecution have opposed the release of the jurors names.
As the judge was issuing the decision, Kevan Fagan, Juror 83 in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, sat down for an interview in our studio with WBURs Jack Lepiarz and David Boeri, who both covered the trial...

List of jurors in Boston Marathon bombing trial released
"...Names of jurors are typically released shortly after a trial concludes, except in certain high-profile cases such as this one, said Jeffery Cohen, an adjunct professor of law at Boston University...
U.S. District Court Judge George A. OToole Jr. denied a request from The Boston Globe to release the jurors names in August, citing post-trial matters still pending in the U.S. District Court in Boston. The names were disclosed Friday because the matters have now concluded, according to the Globe.
OToole said the list would remain under seal while the defense sought a motion for a new trial. Tsarnaev's lawyers wanted to examine the jurors' social media accounts to look for any signs of a bias, said Karen Pita Loor, a clinical professor of law at Boston University.
"Once the names of the jury became public, the defense felt it would be possible that (the jurors) would shut down their social media sites due to the public attention," said Loor, who specializes in criminal law and trial practice.
A federal judge denied a request for a new trial in January. The request was largely based on the claim that Tsarnaev could not get a fair trial or an unbiased jury in the same city where the bombing occurred because of its severe emotional impact..."
