uncitizen,
Even with most people if they're biased or have decided one way - it's very difficult to move them.
Remember, the DA will have experts too (people will be coming out of the woodwork to be involved with this case).
The have confisicated computers from these kids, they are going to find stuff on there. It'll be blown up and out of proportion. They will find people in the kids past to say they used the N word or said this or that. Hell, they may have typed it on their computer.
If Lise Wiehl, Susan Filan, etc, etc. can make excuses for this woman and change the story from the woman's own account to make things fit, I think people that have already heard so much in their own (black) community about the horrors of this case will have no problems selecting the theory that is less likely to have occured.
I hope you're wrong Oak, but am afraid you may be right.
I have to believe the defense is going to fight hard to obtain a jury that is as open-minded as possible, unlike the prosecution in the OJ case.
Do you know if the jury pool is made of city and county residents or simply city residents only?
