Prevent Jurors From Profiting off of Murder Trials

The Issue

 

In light of the swift, not-guilty verdict in the Casey Anthony trial, it appears that the jurors in the case are slowly coming out of the woodwork and requesting large sums of money, well into the millions, for interviews about the trial. The sensationalism that comes with serving on a jury in a high-profile murder case could potentially sway a jury into making an unjust decision in lieu of fame and fortune. Let's prevent jurors from profiting off of murder trials!! In the same vein as the "Son of Sam Law" we propose the "Casey Anthony Law."
