Imagine a person before the grand jury saying, “All your names are public record. If you charge me with this crime — which I DID commit, by the way — my friends will torture and kill your children, your spouses, your parents and siblings and your pets.”

Horrible, right?

But what if he simply hints at it or simply does it?

Just something to consider

The Sunshine problem is not about jury identities, it’s about Grand Jury proceedings records.

The problem is with State Attorneys who do a poor job of presenting cases against people their friends and donors want off the hook.

The problem is with State Attorneys who don’t call grand juries when wrongdoing by the powerful is clear.

Records of the proceedings would spotlight the poor job State Attorneys do in presenting or leaving out key evidence.

I comment MR. Wood for wanting the govt to operate in the SUNSHINE! If a grand Jury can indict and hear and make decisions FOR THE PUBLIC, then there is nothing wrong with us, the public, knowing who they are….There might be a reason she (Childers) doesn’t want the info released….Hummmmmm

As a former juror I would not want my information posted for all to see. Mr. Wood, what is your reason for wanting this information? I see no benifit for someone not affiliated with the courts to NEED this information. I was happy to serve as a juror, and felt it was my responsibility. But I also saw “very bad men” threaten the court and anyone involved with putting them in jail. I would not want that person (or his associates) to know who I am for reasons that should be obvious. So Mr. Wood, what is your reason for wanting this information?

Notice that Mr. Woods has posted twice and has not explained why he needs this info. Or why it should be available upon request.
Everyone can only assume that the info will be used for no good purpose.

Unless he thinks making the names and proceedings public info will insure the legitimacy of the GR process.
i.e. a GR could be loaded only with friends of the SA in order to get the GR to go along with whatever the SA says.

Mr Kevin Wood, stay in your own county and waste thier money; leave ours alone. The citizens of Escambia county want thier tax dollars spent on better things than trying to appease you. What are your intentions? Why do you want these names? The only thing i can think of is that you are trying to get paid through the filing of a lawsuit, by asking for these names, hoping that a clerk nwould refuse so you can file a suit or maybe your looking to intimidate some of these people. I also believe you just want to waste tax payer dollars to no real purpose or cause. like i said stay in your own county and leave ours alone, we dont want you or need you.

Kevin Woods – I think the public is a lot smarter than you give them credit for. I think you may be the ignorant one for wanting to expose the names of people that could eventually be targeted by criminals for their decision. There are some things in the court system that should be kept secret or private. It appears that all you are doing it trying to get a little “15 minutes of fame” for something that you really have no involvement in! I hope the courts continue to give you a big “L” on your side and leave these men and women private. To the greater majority of the public, you are just wasting our tax dollars!

I like the Sunshine Law in Florida as it gives the public access. I think we all should be allowed to see the record and proceedings of a grand jury, but not the names. If Mr. Wood does get the names of the grand jury members at his request and something happens to any of them involving a questionable nature then I think he should be in jail and the warden or sheriff should throw away the key. The names should not be known.
