This document, a page from a legal filing dated March 1, 2022, argues that jurors in high-profile trials often seek to profit from their experience, becoming 'instant celebrities'. It cites numerous examples from the Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Scott Peterson, Derek Chauvin, and Robert Durst trials where jurors sold trial materials, received book advances, gave paid interviews, and secured employment as consultants. The filing suggests that the proliferation of media has increased the opportunities and incentives for jurors to capitalize on their service, potentially influencing their behavior.
