Jury in Zimmerman trial to be anonymous for now : judge

(Reuters) - The identities of jurors in the trial of former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman will remain anonymous for an unspecified period after a verdict is handed down in the case, the judge ruled on Monday.

The decision by Circuit Court Judge Debra Nelson came after jury selection in the trial resumed for a second week and lawyers continued to try to identify jurors who have heard little about the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

Nelson did not say when she will decide the jurors' names might be made public. Mark O'Mara, a lawyer for Zimmerman, argued that the names should be kept confidential for six months following the trial.
