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
