There is no law against having or making any sort of list - that's a First Amendment right of free speech. It is circumstantial evidence maybe in a trial, he has a Fourth/Fourteenth Amendment right to "Due Process" and a "presumption of innocence". We still have Bill of Right here.

Due Process Clauses are found in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. They prohibit the deprivation of "life, liberty, or property" by the federal and state governments, respectively, without due process of law. The U.S. Supreme Court interprets these clauses to guarantee a variety of protections: procedural due process; substantive due process; a prohibition against vague laws; incorporation of the Bill of Rights to state governments; and equal protection under the laws of the federal government.
