With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". the following reasons, I conclude that defendant’s speech, as alleged in the indictment, is protected by the First Amendment and does not state a violation of § 373. A. Posts Regarding Juror A Defendant’s posts regarding Juror A do not expressly solicit or endeavor to persuade another person to harm Juror A. Rather, they disclose personal information about Juror A and comment on his/her sexual orientation and attitude toward race. Although the posts may be reasonably read as criticizing Juror A’s vote to convict Hale, nowhere in them does defendant expressly advocate that Juror A be harmed. Scrutiny and criticism of people involved in the investigation and prosecution of crimes is protected by the First Amendment. See Wood v. Georgia, 370 U.S. 375, 82 S.Ct. 1364, 8 L.Ed.2d 569 (1962) (<HOLDING>); see also Globe Newspaper Co. v. Superior
