I've been summoned for jury duty before, but never chosen so I am just going by what I hear on tv, but don't the jurors swear they will listen to the information presented and base their findings on that alone? If they can be trusted to swear to that, why would they want someone who hasn't ever heard of this case before? I would think you'd have to be some slug who never watches the news to have not heard of this case....

I'm glad we will finally have a trial, but seeing her lying smug face on there every day is going to be tough.

I don't know. I think our justice system is preposterous. Judges deciding that evidence can't be seen because of this or that, judges overturning sentences that juries impose, etc. And these unreasonable demands that everyone on the jury be completely ignorant of what took place - that's crazy. If someone murders someone else in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses, they'd demand that nobody who saw the murder could be on the jury because they'd be "biased". F**king idiotic.
