Summary
Defense counsel Bobbi Sternheim requests Judge Nathan to release the names of 600 potential jurors to attorneys only, prior to voir dire, to facilitate background research and ensure a fair trial. The letter cites precedent involving juror misconduct (US v. Parse) and a recent order from the Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' civil case (Sines v. Kessler) where juror names were released to counsel despite high publicity and security concerns. The document includes the cited order from the Western District of Virginia as Exhibit A.
