Friedman Agnifilo on Trump’s Hush Money Case: The Law in N.Y. Is Different, You‘re Not Actually Allowed to Have a Completely Anonymous Jury

EXCERPT:

AGNIFILO: “So the law in New York State is different than the federal law, and it's really - you're not actually allowed to have a completely anonymous jury to the defendant. And so this particular request that they made, which is to keep the names and addresses from the public, but not from the defense team or the prosecution team, is actually along with New York law. But the Michael Cohen issue is a concern because if Michael Cohen continues to speak out about Donald Trump, Donald Trump will say he has a right to respond. So I could see the judge here, for example, issuing a gag order on all parties and all witnesses to protect the jury pool from getting extraneous extrajudicial statements and information now that we are weeks away from the trial.”
