3/ Klasfeld:

Merchan addresses the press:

He says revealing too many juror details "defeats the purpose" of anonymity.

"The press is certainly able and permitted to write about anything that's on the record, because it's on the record."

Via Inner City Press (I call them PRESS):
Merchan: You are excused. I want to address the press. There's a reason this is an anon jury. Press is free to right about anything said here on the record. But plz avoid phys descriptions - why mention Irish accent?
