@taylorlorenz OK, but... I don't see how they're obliged to find people who have no opinion of his antics, anymore than they'd be obliged to find a jury of people with no opinion on murder for such a trial?

I mean sure, jurors should not know the suspect or victim personally, but this guy very deliberately injected himself in everyone's lives & also keeps breaking the law - and then all those chickens come home to roost & suddenly that's the legal system's problem? Isn't it kinda what you get?
