re: #61 MandyManners

Can you imagine trying to seat a jury that has never heard of 9-11? Even the sewer-rats have heard of it.

It isn’t a matter of finding jury members who’ve never heard of the attacks. It’s a matter of finding members who, despite their knowledge, are capable of making a decision based solely on the evidence presented during trial and not on external factors.

I’m pretty certain that all of OJ’s jurists had prior knowledge of the case in both of his trials, for example.
