R.I. Sup. Ct. R. Art. VII, Canon 10
Photographing of jurors
During the voir dire examination of
prospective jurors, no photographing, broadcasting, or televising of such
examinations of individual jurors or prospective jurors shall take place. After the
jurors are empaneled and sworn, individual jurors shall not be photographed except
in instances in which a juror or jurors consent. In courtrooms where photography
and televising is impossible without including the jury as part of the unavoidable
background, such photography is permitted, but closeups that clearly identify
individual jurors are prohibited. Trial justices shall enforce this rule for the purpose
of providing maximum protection of juror anonymity.
