the jury will be bashed like there is no tomorrow

Literally, they should be...or at least stoned

I knew my opinion on this was not going to be popular, but I offered it just the same. So stone away ...

Just wondering, can Kronk or some of the others who the defense implied were involved sue for defamation? Like the civil trial against OJ?

You take 12 or 13 people at random from the voters polls. Both sides have the right to challenge any of them for cause and the absolute right to remove several for no reason whatsoever. They are asked to give up 3 months of their lives and take on the awesome task of deliberating the guilt or innocence of the Defendant. Literally to decide whether she lives or dies.

They are no privy to all of the media lawyers endlessly droning on and on about every bit of evidence, all the while dropping their journalist obligation to the truth and injecting their own personal prejudices into what you hear. No they mus decide the case based only upon what they are permitted to hear in the courtroom. They come to the best conclusion they can based on the testimony they hear in that courtroom and you attack them and ask that they be stoned.

Do you really think that all 12 plus the alternate have a bias or are just stupid?

The plain and simple fact of this case is the prosecution blew it big time. They had a weak case to begin with, presented what evidence in a haphazard manner to the point that the theory of their case was constantly shifting throughout the trial and ending up in the embarrassing position of being caught laughing at the opposing side during closing arguments and finally nearly begging for a verdict on the final close.

The jury can only deal with what is presented to them and as the saying goes garbage in - garbage out.

The prosecutor alone is to nlame for this travesty.
