A judge in Arizona’s fake electors case has put new rules in place to protect the identities of the grand jurors who indicted the defendants in the case.

Last week, prosecutors with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office asked Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Bruce Cohen to order that grand jurors’ names be redacted in transcripts that detail their deliberations prior to indicting 18 individuals in the fake elector case, who are accused of conspiring to undermine President Joe Biden’s electoral victory in Arizona in 2020.

At a hearing last week, Assistant Attorney General Krista Wood said the leak of grand jury documents to the press earlier this year along with the potential for future leaks due to the sheer number of defendants in the case justified additional security measures, citing alleged harassment faced by grand jurors in a similar case in Georgia.

“This is an issue that many people feel strongly about and has resulted in many types of harassing information as outlined in our indictment, and as has been reported in our motions, specifically to the Georgia grand jurors,” Wood said.

Cohen ordered the transcripts to be sealed — or made not accessible to the public — and redacted on July 5, but some defense attorneys had already obtained unredacted versions by that time.

Every year, I get my nephews and niece an ornament and I put their name and the year on it.. this year, I had an idea to make them early enough to get supplies and get them made down here so I don’t have to mail them to my nephew and niece who live here.
