I don't live in Burgerland, can someone explain how this trial could possibly be considered fair when you have high level politicians weighing in on what they think the verdict should be? Here, cases are thrown out for much less.
Under normal circumstances a judge upon noting the public interest will sequester the jury away from all media for the duration of the trial.
Because that's easier and less of an infringement on the rights of the public to discuss the administration of justice.

Jury Sequestration. Basically the jury has been isolated from information from the outside and strictly informed that they are not allowed to contact anyone that might give them opinions on the outside. A fair trial was going to be hard to have here anyway, considering a viral video is involved, and as such the jurors were screened, questioned, and pressed on the need to be impartial during the trial, on punishment from the court.

This is a circus, not a fair.

I thought the jury hadn't been sequestered in this trial

The jury was only sequestered after closing arguments.
 
I'm curious how many rioters even live in the vicinity of what's being destroyed. It reminds me of when my school won a national championship and 75% of the people arrested for rioting on the campus were from out of state. Not many people shit where they eat.
Plenty of rioters come in from out of town or even out of state. Disgusting opportunist scum.
 
One of the top autofill results right now on Google for "who are" is "who are the jurors"
