Well Frasier....you just might have that chance if you live in SWO. The Tori Stafford murder trial was moved from Woodstock to London to 'increase the chance of a fair trial', so who knows where Noelle's case will end up. And, even if not selected for jury you could attend the trial and would likely see even more than the jury does.
When the Rafferty (Tori Stafford's killer) trial was on in London I did swing by the courthouse around the time the verdict was announced. The environment was surreal. People were cheering in the street. I didn't have the opportunity to go to the trial (because of work commitments), however the public were free to attend and they even had an 'overflow' room with the proceedings shown via live video.
I didn't resent the publication ban in that case (and I don't resent it in this case) as I cannot imagine risking a fair trial and having the perps walk or the wrong people convicted. After all what we all want is justice. What I don't want to see is someone convicted in the 'court of public opinion'...but rather through a fair court process.
I believe I saw another post on this thread where the poster clearly indicated that these people were guilty. While they likely are we don't know that for sure.
Bravo, I sure hope you WOULD make the cut. You are one very level headed person! (Sorry about my wishes, as I know you don't want to be a juror! :floorlaugh
Now that I look back at my comments above...boy, I am one 'preachy' SOB, aren't I? (and for a Friday night to boot!)
All JMO.
eace:
I look forward to justice for Noelle.
