I don't know - I have a different pov regarding the potential jurors. Especially after watching the Peterson fiasco. Although found guilty:
Seven jurors who sentenced Peterson to death for murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, are reuniting to write a book about their role in the high-profile case. The book, called "We, the Jury: Deciding Scott Peterson's Fate," will be published this fall by Phoenix Books.
Strawberry Shortcake: A former juror who sent Scott Peterson to death row says she's been corresponding for nearly a year with the former fertilizer salesman convicted of murdering his pregnant wife.
I would hope and pray that a single juror not make one red cent off of this trial. However, I don't believe that to be the case. The minute someone is selected they have all the time in the world to journal every entry - thus compiling with others to write a book/make a movie.
And lets not forget stealth jurors: Even more alarming, three separate "stealth" jurors - people who deliberately lied on their questionnaire in order to convict the defendant - were discovered. Despite these warning signs and a renewed motion for change of venue, the court chose to plow ahead in San Mateo. (Motion, p. 11)
So while I definitely worry about the DT, I worry more about who is going to be placed on the jury and the alternates.
MOO
