Cahill vs. Derek Michael Chauvin Dist. Ct. File 27-CR-20-12646 Defendant MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MEDIA COALITION’S MOTION TO UNSEAL JUROR IDENTITIES AND OTHER JUROR MATERIALS American Public Media Group (which owns Minnesota Public Radio); The Associated Press; Cable News Network, Inc.; CBS Broadcasting Inc. (on behalf of WCCO-TV and CBS News); Court TV Media LLC; Dow Jones & Company (which publishes The Wall Street Journal); Fox/UTV Holdings, LLC (which owns KMSP-TV); Gannett Satellite Information Network, LLC (which publishes USA Today); Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc.

(which owns KARE-TV); and WP Company LLC (which publishes The Washington Post) (collectively, the “Media Coalition”) by and through undersigned counsel, hereby submit this Motion to Unseal Juror Identities and Other Juror Materials. 27-CR-20-12646 Filed in District Court State of Minnesota 8/4/2021 3:13 PM INTRODUCTION This is not a motion that the Media Coalition brings lightly or, for that matter, quickly. It has waited through trial, through verdict, through sentencing, and until now—more than three months after the jurors completed their service in the trial of Derek Chauvin—out of respect for the integrity of the proceedings, for the Court’s articulated concerns about juror impartiality and safety, and for the jurors themselves, who served their community under very difficult circumstances and handled harrowing evidence and testimony.
