The judge in the Casey Anthony case says the state doesn�t offer enough protection for jurors.

Judge Blevins Perry is asking state lawmakers to pass a law to exempt the names of jurors in high profile cases from public records. First Amendment Foundation Director Jim Rhea (RAY) says the path Perry is starting down is a dangerous one.

�If you don�t know who the jurors are, you don�t know their names and you can�t figure out who they are, then you don�t know the basis on which they make their decisions, what sort of biases they�ve had or what sort of life experiences they�ve had,� said Rhea.

Perry is keeping the names of the jurors quiet until October. He says they�ve been threatened by some who blame them for the not guilty verdict.
