CLAYTON • A judge in St. Louis County denied this morning requests from the Post-Dispatch and Bloomberg News to release more information about members of the grand jury considering evidence in the Michael Brown shooting death.

The order by Circuit Court Judge Carolyn Whittington came after her ruling on Friday that demographic information about jurors should be available. Immediately after her order, the court's judicial administrator released a breakdown by gender and race: the grand jury has one black man and two black women, and six white men and three white women.

But the Post-Dispatch and Bloomberg News asked that the judge also order the disclosure of jurors' ages and either their municipality or ZIP code of residence; the judge said she would consider the request this morning.

At a hearing, attorney Joseph E. Martineau of Lewis Rice & Fingersh, representing the news organizations, argued the extra details were "important information for the public to understand the makeup of this jury." An attorney from the office of Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch said he had no objection as long as the jurors' identities were not released.
