4. I doubt it is about a book

If you read even the first three paragraphs of the story, you can see what this juror had to go through to file this suit. Have you ever tried convincing the ACLU to take a case? Not easy.

Furthermore, books are not the money-maker people think they are. Just for the sake of example, let's say the juror's motivation is money. There is still a great deal of time that is needed to write the book, publish it, and get a book promo tour organized. Topics are wiped off the stage in a heartbeat due to other breaking news. There is a slim, very slim shot that this would ever make much, if any, money.

All this person is asking is to be able to speak out. Nothing I've read says anything about a book deal, so that's all speculation.
