In High Profile Cases, Jurors will be Either Liars or the Terminally Dim....

"Yes, your honor, I live in Sanford Florida, but I've not formed an opinion on Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman."

It's a problem.

1. I am always reminded of a comment by dan fielding on "night court". "a jury of my PEERS?

twelve people who were not bright enough to get OUT of jury duty??"

2. I think we are too often looking for ignorant jurors on that type of case

I think people can, and often do, ignore previous knowledge when they are on jury duty. As a prosecutor I surely would have gotten rid of her in a new york minute.

3. Knock knock

Who's there?

George Zimmerman.

Who?

You're (an idiot and therefore) on the jury.

Now we know what West meant.

4. I've wondered about

This, even before this case. Especially in our media soaked culture, can we truly expect to get jurors who don't know about a high profile case? And if we can... Well, what does that say about that person? That they are not interested in current events even in the slightest? That they are completely oblivious to their surroundings.

I don't have the words to properly describe the problem. I can't think of any solution either. Just something to worry about

5. If true would explain the OJ jury. NT
