Give people a little credit! Juries in the US are rarely sequestored anymore in spite of the rampant talking heads twisting every sordid detail of juicy crimes into something completely false. Italian jurors are as capable as anyone in terms of doing the job they are tasked with. I am confident that in Italy, like in most countries, people are able to form an opinion about guilt based on evidence presented in court and not the newspapers.
American juries get it wrong, too, and sometimes because of pre-trial publicity. See Innocence Project.
