My mistake. I thought from your posts you did.

I think Durham is the worst place in the state for the trial. Think about it yourself for a while and see if you don't agree. Ask yourself "is the jury pool going to be better or worse in other similarly sized or larger cities in the state?"

I think this jurisdiction will have a lot of blacks in the jury pool, a disproportionate number, and some will likely be trying to get on the jury stealth. They'll know to show no flags. Even the Dukies who are in the pool may have their own grudges with the athletes. Imagine the liberals arts department, the profs, the TAs, the grads.

This is strictly a personal opinion, but I'd sure want the case out of this jurisdiction, where you never know the politics. Get it somewhere that Nifong is powerless.

I agree and think I have said so on prior threads. I just offered that woman and older jurors would not necessarily be bad for the defense. I do agree this is a case that will attrack people wanting on the jury either to hang the bastards or to protect these boys from a lynch mob.
