"unless they just happen to get all the jurors from the OJ trial."

and all those jurors were black except one very weak, mousey woman who admitted she thought Simpson guilty but couldn't stand up to the others.....if she had, it would have been a hung jury and Simpson would have been tried again...

Jury pools vary according to the jurisdiction. Juries are made up of people who couldn't get out of jury duty, or didn't want to. That means a lot of good jurors for these defendants will beg off if they can, because they run businesses and such.

This jury, which will have to commit for some time, will likely be stacked with women, the old, government workers, and the unemployed. That probably helps the prosecutor in this case.
