Connecticut Post Issue

On Septmeber 13, 2007, the Connecticut Post issued a newspaper about the twelve jurors that will be deciding the future for one teenage boy. The newspaper revealed the jurors names, ages, and their occupations. The issue of revealing this information was brought up in many articles from former newspaper writers about whether it is legal to provide personal information to the public.
I dont think that the public should be informed about personal information about the jury. It just becomes an ethical issue when information about someone is shown to the public. There are many things to take into consideration when it comes to revealing people's personal things to the public.
Someone who is on the side of the prosecutor could find this information about a juror and maybe harm them in some way or even make threats. With the technology we have in todays society there are many ways of finding a huge amount of informatioan about someone. When you provide the information to the public it makes it easier for someone to know their day to day schedule. The juror could be scared for their families, belongings and finances because with just a little bit of information and technology someone could cause a lot of damage.
These days reporters and journalists do not think about the effects of putting information out there for the public to see. They want to get the most accurate information and provide it as quickly as possible to make a good story. A lot of times the information they share can actually cause more harm to someone than just giving knowledge about them. I think that this issue should be taken more seriously and maybe even brought to a higher court.
