The trial was publicly televised completely from day one. The public was able to see EXACTLY how it went down.
They DID NOT have to rely on Nancy Grace to get their " facts ".
The public got to see ALL of the evidence while the jury got to see only what they were allowed.
The public got to see ALL court proceeding except the sidebars while the jury only saw what they were allowed.
Now I ask you, who is in a better position to form a judgement, someone that gets to see and hear EVERYTHING
or someone that only has access to a smaller portion of it.
Granted, that's the way the system works but it doesn't mean the verdict is always correct in relation to the ABSOLUTE truth.
The system allows for a lot of legal wrangling and the opportunity for the " smoking gun " evidence to be omitted when it would have proved beyond a doubt.
