They can come out themselves, as most did after the Scott Peterson trial. That trial verdict was VERY warmly received by the public so maybe that made a difference.
But yes, in theory, the identities are kept a secret. But for every juror, there are MANY MANY people they know who know they are on that jury who could out them on social media.
But again, I don't think there would be any juror who would out another juror about how they pushed to vote.
A statement from Floyd's family at this point would probably be helpful, asking for peaceful protest and not to sully this cause with grabbing merchandise and dancing off with it.

Considering what the media referred to as peaceful protests last summer it would be easy to see how any plea for peaceful protests by the Floyd family could be misinterpreted as a call for rioting.

they were paid 100 mil for a garbage human that probably never earned 100k in his life legally so I'm sure they are fine.
One can tell prior history from the person's general disposition. Going wild on an officer is always a mistake.
I get that part. So, it means that of his disposition, which was not aggressive once he was on the ground, with handcuffs, for nine minutes was OK with your, correct?
If that is so, I disagree. His disposition from the very beginning was of pleading to the officer. He did offer some physical resistance initially before put on the ground, however, once he was on the ground, I did not see aggressive disposition. He had a begging disposition, his voice reflected fear. Maybe not to you, but it was with me.
Also, "one can tell prior history from the person's general disposition" is very, and I mean very broad. I know that police officers do handle a lot of the worst in society, thus become callous. From what I saw when he had him on the ground for nine minutes, his "disposition" showed not care for a civilian and human being.

Your post says more about you than the disgusting and disparaging comments you make---about a fellow human being and those who loved him---in an effort to prove your self-perceived superiority. Shame on you.
It takes one hack, one relative, one other juror, etc, to instantly remove that anonymity.
