4. It's not necessary

to watch Court TV, or even TV at all, to be affected by the bullshit.

Just looking around DU, it's plain that people think they KNOW what happened the night Trayvon Martin was killed.

It's much the same IRL.

I've been following the trial, too.

I don't have a goddamned CLUE as to what really happened.

What's scary to me is knowing that there are so many people...potential jurors in RL cases...willing to pass judgement based on incomplete evidence. Or, worse, to twist incomplete evidence to match their preconceived notions of guilt or innocence.
