More than $62,000 was spent on a telephone survey and a jury questionnaire review.

Hey, nothing like a custom-crafted jury to get you the verdict you want! Too bad Pfingst couldn't do this with the entire electorate.

I don't mind that much money being spent putting away a sleazebag childkiller and putting him down like the sick animal he is.

Feldman mentioned in his closing argument that some of the jurors noted during the selection process that they disagreed with the OJ jury and thought their verdict was wrong.

I wonder what they would think if they knew that the same lady(Jo-Ellan Dimitrius) that help OJ's lawyers pick that jury, was paid 62,000 to help the prosecution select them.

Dimitrius, along with Judge Mudd, are most responsible for this attempted kill. Mudd coddled that jury like a grandpa playing with his grandkids.

He needed to make sure that none of those jurors had their soon-to-be-forthcoming mental and/or emotional breakdown during the trial.
