U.S. v. Harris

Defendant was not entitled to new trial on conspiracy to commit mail fraud and aggravated identity theft charges, even though defendant argued that she was improperly tried by anonymous jury. Defendant’s trial counsel did not object to alleged anonymous nature of jury, and defendant failed to show that jurors’ names were actually unknown to parties since: (1) Dist. Ct. indicated that he would not use actual names of jurors in open court to protect their privacy; (2) Dist. Ct. mentioned name of one juror during sidebar; and (3) response given by jurors during voir dire indicated that they were free to reveal private information about themselves.
