| Nov 6, 2022 at 9:28 | comment | added | phoog | I suppose the juror should say that he can't be unbiased but ask for the reason not to be disclosed in open court because he could suffer harm if it became publicly known. I doubt that the employer could be prevented from firing someone in the circumstances presented in the question. I find it more likely that the judge would allow any specific discussion of the reason to take place in private. But I don't know much about jury selection, so I hope someone who does will answer. | |
| Nov 6, 2022 at 9:24 | comment | added | chausies | @phoog The crux of the question isn't the statements or whether they're protected in general. The question is whether, in the courtroom, during jury selection, if such statements are protected. Or are statements made there also considered "public" just as sure as if one shouted them in public? Is Walter supposed to pretend like he's not a white supremacist during Jury selection just like he pretends the same in public at work? | |
| Nov 6, 2022 at 9:19 | comment | added | phoog | @Trish indeed, there are public examples of people being fired because of public statements that don't reflect the company's desired public image, including racist statements. On the other hand, chausies, a hypothesis that implicates a protected class could involve a disclosure of sexual orientation, ancestry, or something like that. But this is less interesting because the discrimination would be clearly prohibited in such a case. | |
