US District Judge Arthur Schwab has twice been ordered by the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to release the names of jurors in the trial of former Allegheny County Coroner Cyril Wecht (earlier). Yesterday, instead of just releasing the names as ordered, he announced that he will release the names next Monday, after the jurors and alternates have been notified. That’s right: even though it was public knowledge in advance of the trial that he had been ordered to make the jurors’ names public, and even though he has to release the names even if a juror were now to object, he insists on informing them first and delaying another week (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review).
