When trying to decide whether Daniel Ehrlick Jr. and Melissa Jenkins can get fair trials in Ada County, 4th District Judge Darla Williamson went to a uniquely qualified source - the citizens who recently qualified for jury service.

And though 86 percent of the 210 people who returned the survey said they had discussed, read about or heard about the cases, 57 percent of those said they could put aside what they'd heard and make a decision solely based evidence presented at trial.

I can honestly say I could not sit on that jury. They are guilty in my book. Ehrlick deserves the death penalty. Jenkins...eh I might go life but wouldn't be upset at all if she was hanging right next to Ehrlick.

No content warning on this one (unlike some of the previous articles). This one doesn’t go into very much brutal detail, but more focuses on the jury selection and change of venue request.
