10. Doesn't matter, the whole family has been on the air since this happened, trying to whitewash it.

They'd have to find citizens for the jury who hadn't listened to FOX, or Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh using the stuff they'd put out for years to find anyone who hadn't been influenced.

I've never seen this kind of coverage before a jury has been seated. Before a person is charged, yes. While the case is in court, yes. But in this time frame?

Good luck getting a conviction, is my humble opinion. Z has already been on the talk shows, and his family is just going to keep on singing the same line. I understand that they can't gag the entire state - but these people have made a ton of statements.

The state of Florida allowed this to proceed as it has and will be responsible for the results.

Gag orders must be illegal in Florida. After all, Rush lives there, and he set a precedent. freshwest Mar 2013 #4
