[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1771632, member: 1132"] Question 1: Yes, because I'm not pre-judging the case either way. I'm smart enough to realize that all the media hype and hyperbole is exactly that. Question 2: First, I'm a LEO. Automatic strike by the defense. Second, I'm intelligent enough to not be at all swayed by an ineffective argument and I believe in jury nullification under extremely limited circumstances. Automatic strike by the prosecution. Third, have you ever heard of "change of venue"? It's available when local media coverage or hostility towards the defense is so high, that there's a likelihood that the defendant couldn't get a fair and [U]impartial[/U] jury trial. Now extend that premise in this case to the entire country, because of irresponsible "journalism". FWIW, I'd never be selected for the jury pool. People like me never serve on juries, and it's not because we try to get out of it. Any more questions? [/QUOTE]
