Does the court have to release juror addresses and telephone numbers to the defense?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Jones v. Superior Court, 26 Cal.App.4th 1202, 31 Cal.Rptr.2d 890 (Cal. App. 1994):

Relying on the statutory language and People v. Simms (1994) 24 Cal.App.4th 462, 29 Cal.Rptr.2d 436, the defense takes the position Code [26 Cal.App.4th 1206] of Civil Procedure 5 section 206, subdivision (f) requires the court to release juror addresses and telephone numbers if the defense requests the information, although the court may limit the disclosure to the defendant, defense counsel or defendant's investigator under section 237, subdivision (d). We disagree.
