back to richard gabriel, a jury consultant, also author of "acquittal."s. 24-hour cable, cnn, competitors, news media all the time on the internet, on television. how you think that has changed public perception of these trials how they are perceived, how these people are tried in the court of public opinion before the jury hands down their decision? >> on the one hand, it's very positive thing because for the most part, people know more how the process works. they know about evidence, they know a lot more about the law. on the other hand, there's a presumption of innocence. and the difficulty is that a lot of the pretrial publicity tends to create certain tip we watch television, we watch news, to want to know. defense attorneys, tools of the trade, really not knowing and uncertainty. so it's hard to ask jurors to wait when they've already seen fundamentally a lot of the evidence in the case, they formed opinions about it, talked about it with friends and family. yet come to the courtroom and then they say, okay, you're now supposed to be fair and impart

you talk about the reach that went into deciding who would be on the jury.it's absolutely staggering, and the point you make is in effect that the trial was won the day the jury was selected. >> i'm not sure it was won, but i think we had a great audience. the truth is the case you are giving is only as good as the outside yeps you have. if you -- audience you have. if you get a good audience, you have a better listening for the case. when we get the research done, it gave us an advantage of going into the trial itself. >> a big advantage, because it seemed like you had a much better hold on what the people who were in that jury pool, or how they would rule, what was going to effect them, than what the prosecution did. >> we understood clearly that those people with those experiences would be respective to the police mishandling of evidence, tampering. we knew johnny from the beginning - that the only way to take this was to take an offensive approach. he was not shy about going after the police. the truth is we wanted a jury saying there was tampering and m
