Very good point.

They believe that the "defendant" has misrepresented what happened and they want to be able to present their views. Why shouldn't they be able to?
Is said juror going to do that for free? Nope

You have no idea what you are talking about. Read the lawsuit.

That isn't what they are saying.

Do what for free? And so what if they make some money off a book or something, I've already noted that prosecutors have done that before. Why should the rules only apply to some participants but not for others?

You don't remember various jurors, witnesses etc. ever cashing in with book deals etc. after major news stories?

I addressed that afterwards. So what? Prosecutors have made money on books, why shouldn't others be able to? Even though I addressed that no one has answered why it is that only the prosecutor should be able to make money.

The juror would make money if allowed to speak. Fine by me. I'd like her to win the case, with restrictions on her ability to name names, imposing on others' expectation of privacy.
