@RobAbruzzese In each of those instances a judge needs to rule that he's conducting an open court proceeding at side bar b/c of those reasons. (1/3)
@RobAbruzzese Re: Jury safety, their names are spelled publicly. Order the pool be anonymous (2/3) if safety is a concern.
@RobAbruzzese Re: juror taint, have a press pool member at sidebar. (2.5/3)
@RobAbruzzese If potential juror isn't comfortable with press there (health issues, etc) the pool can step back. I've done it before successfully. (3/3)

BREAKING: Footage from outside Jeffrey #Epstein's MCC cell during his July suicide attempt has been permanently deleted because the facility's staffers accidentally preserved video from outside a the WRONG cell, per prosecutors.
This comes after AUSA Swergold told a judge in December they couldn't find the footage -- and then corrected himself the very next day, saying it had been preserved.
The filing claims this happened because the MCC system had Epstein's onetime cellmate listed as residing in a different cell, so they preserved the footage from outside THAT cell, as opposed to the one being shared by Epstein and Nicholas Tartaglione.

We have a jury! Eight men and four women have been selected to sit on the trial of #Nxivm leader Keith Raniere. The panel will remain anonymous, and will be escorted from the courthouse today by the U.S. Marshals Service. Opening arguments expected tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.
The jury skews older, appearing to be in their late 20s to mid 60s. Men are mostly minorities, whereas three of the four women are white.
From what we gleaned during voir dire, those impaneled work in a high school, a hospital, a private bank, and HR.
