If you were on trial, you would not want jurors who spend all day watching this stuff on cable TV.
They brought the jury in from Tampa so they would not have an opinion about the case.
What you saw this week happens every damn day in courtrooms around the US. The system is not perfect, but it beats the vigilante crowd around here.
*Who* had not heard of this case? This story was too huge.
I think these jurors lied. You don’t have to watch Nancy Grace every night to have heard about this case. They knew it was high profile. But let’s say they indeed had not heard of the case, do not follow news, etc. How do you escape water cooler conversations, etc? And if one was indeed that ignorant, I’m not sure I’d want that person on a jury either.
