    The names are public. Per Georgia Code Title 17. Criminal Procedure § 17-7-54 it looks like they’re spelled out as part of the standard form that indictments take. Addresses aren’t that hard to get once you know the name.

      That’s just fucked up. It’s like nothing in the US is considering privacy.

      You’re just asking for mob bosses to start killing or threatening jurors.

        Most of our justice system relies on people participating in good faith. Turns out that’s a shitty way to hold people accountable

      Well thanks for the information. I would have guessed at least in a case like this it would be semi-private at least.

      I understand the need for transparency, but I guess the people abusing that are typically breaking the law anyway.
