8 months until trial. Will the media coverage affect outcome? Will media coverage affect selection of potential jurors?

I feel certain it will be covered on InSession [TruTV],but I don't think it will be as big as OJ. In my circle of friends and relatives I'm the only one following the case at all.I think most people are aware of the case,but not as interested as they were when OJ was on trial.He was a popular sports figure / actor / celebrety ,who had been known as a "nice guy".He was quite well known and his case was followed closely. That's not to say this isn't a big media case,just not as big as OJ's ,IMO.8 months until trial. Will the media coverage affect outcome? Will media coverage affect selection of potential jurors?
I can't say for sure,but In Session on TruTV has covered many of the hearings and discuss the case a good bit.They also air many trials from FL live,probably because they are one of the few states that allow cameras in the courtroom.I believe they will cover the entire trial,live.Does anyone know if the trial will be covered on any particular station, ala' OJ?

The only reason this case has captured attention outside of Orlando, is due to the fact that a mother did not report her child missing. 31 days after the child went missing the grandmother reported the child missing. Then the mother lied through her teeth to LE, instead of helping to find her child.
Therefore, since these people are not celebraties- No it will not be anything near the size of coverage OJ had.
At this stage- most probably feel that the mother is locked up- the child's remains have been found- justice will prevail- end of story- on to the next case.
Mostly, locals will follow the trial-
Truly, I have talked to many people outside of Florida who don't have a clue who the A's are, or anything about the case.
I don't think it will be a big trial on any kind of national level at all. I don't think it will be even close to the level of OJ's case.
Media will have an affect but not to a degree that it precludes her from a fair trial.
I have followed the case and I could still be neutral.
I think that Nancy Grace will cover it for HLN. Remember they actually broadcast Caylee's memorial service too, in its entirety on HLN. There has been enough national coverage on all of the major networks, Larry King, People magazine covers, etc. that they would have quite the viewership. Definitely on Tru-TV (formerly Court TV).

None of my friends have a clue as to what it going on. Anything they do want to know, they ask me. Sad but true.
Heck, give the As time. I don't think they will be satisfied until they become a household name.The only reason this case has captured attention outside of Orlando, is due to the fact that a mother did not report her child missing. 31 days after the child went missing the grandmother reported the child missing.
