Jurors say they’ve avoided news coverage

Interestingly, despite concerns that have been raised about how news coverage of the case could affect the jury pool, most prospective jurors have said they’ve seen little coverage and none that would affect their ability to serve as impartial jurors. Yesterday, when 24 jurors who’d been approved back in April were questioned, not a single one said they’d seen or heard news coverage that would change anything for them. Today, most of the prospective jurors had heard in cursory fashion that Duncan would represent himself, but all said they’d heard little else and had avoided news reports about the case. Said one, “I’ve been very guarded at anything I’ve been exposed to. I’ve either gotten it turned off, or I turn my back and do ‘la-la-la’ until it’s done.”
