Who on this board is being disobedient of authority? I'm not sure I get your point.
Protesters could be hindering conclusion.

Depends on the evidence AND BTW I am not defending her, I am defending EVERYONE'S rights.
Why revoke the rights of 50 protesters? All that needs to be done is send Casey back to jail. Then everything would be fine and dandy. If I was in her position I would have never seen the light of day again. Whether I was innocent or not I would have never seen the light of day until I was cleared or went to trail. Why take away one person's constitutional rights? All you have to do is take away Casey's constitutional right.
Nice to see you protect bully's and moms who encourge kids to act like bully's not to mention moms who put their kids in dangerouous situations and ignroe them when they get hurt. Stragne Casey is accused of neglect of her daughter but some condone this mom neglecting her son. :waitasec:

Protesters are usually protesting the government for redress of grievances. Why don't they go down to the Sherrif's office and demand of them that Casey be re-arrested, instead of making monumental *advertiser censored**es of themselves disturbing the peace in a residential neighborhood, and bullying and intimidating the Anthony's?(arrgh, I'm repeating myself) As I said above, protesters are arrested all the time for getting out of hand. It is well past "out of hand" in this case.
The protesters haven't touched anyone yet The Anthony's have. Cannot believe they continue to downgrade Yuri and the rest of the police force yet they rely on them for protection. This is the same thing they did to LP and Tim Miller this family should be ashamed especially Cindy

I am a little uncomfortable with the leaks and the influence on a potential jury.
However, I remember when the O.J. tapes of Nicole Brown's 911 tapes were released. O.J. was acquitted, anyway. I think some jurors bought into the defense claim that it was another instance of the state picking on O.J.
Irregardless, I very much believe the state can and will show that Caylee is deceased and was in Casey's trunk.
It's a real eye opener IMO

2)I then asked you
One can be sceptical about authority , but nevertheless obedient.
Where would they fall in this equation?
3) you answered with the above.
I am asking where in the explanation of naivity which you originally posted would the group who is skeptical but nonetheless obedient fall.

I think you can rely on the courts, the prosecutor and defense counsel to handle any influence on a potential jury. There are several methods of handling this issue. One is voir dire where each side, prosecution and defense, have a certain number of peremptory challenges. Depending on the charges, the statutes define the number of peremptory challenges for each side. Second, the courts have a number of means of handling juror misconduct for bringing into the jury room evidence not presented at trial. They generally have a number of substitute jurors who sit through the whole trial and once deliberations start, if there is reported jury misconduct, the judge can disqualify the juror and plug in a substitute. Third, they can make motions for a change of venue. Believe it or not, not everyone in the US who is qualified to be a juror is following the blogs. Below are some Florida statues. I haven't updated them.
TRIAL JURY
913.03 Grounds for challenge to individual jurors for cause.
913.08 Number of peremptory challenges.
913.10 Number of jurors.
913.12 Qualifications of jurors.
913.13 Jurors in capital cases.
913.15 Special jurors.
913.03 Grounds for challenge to individual jurors for cause.--A challenge for cause to an individual juror may be made only on the following grounds:
(1) The juror does not have the qualifications required by law;
(2) The juror is of unsound mind or has a bodily defect that renders him or her incapable of performing the duties of a juror, except that, in a civil action, deafness or hearing impairment shall not be the sole basis of a challenge for cause of an individual juror;
(3) The juror has conscientious beliefs that would preclude him or her from finding the defendant guilty;
(4) The juror served on the grand jury that found the indictment or on a coroner's jury that inquired into the death of a person whose death is the subject of the indictment or information;
(5) The juror served on a jury formerly sworn to try the defendant for the same offense;
(6) The juror served on a jury that tried another person for the offense charged in the indictment, information, or affidavit;
(7) The juror served as a juror in a civil action brought against the defendant for the act charged as an offense;
(8) The juror is an adverse party to the defendant in a civil action, or has complained against or been accused by the defendant in a criminal prosecution;
(9) The juror is related by blood or marriage within the third degree to the defendant, the attorneys of either party, the person alleged to be injured by the offense charged, or the person on whose complaint the prosecution was instituted;
(10) The juror has a state of mind regarding the defendant, the case, the person alleged to have been injured by the offense charged, or the person on whose complaint the prosecution was instituted that will prevent the juror from acting with impartiality, but the formation of an opinion or impression regarding the guilt or innocence of the defendant shall not be a sufficient ground for challenge to a juror if he or she declares and the court determines that he or she can render an impartial verdict according to the evidence;
(11) The juror was a witness for the state or the defendant at the preliminary hearing or before the grand jury or is to be a witness for either party at the trial;
(12) The juror is a surety on defendant's bail bond in the case.
913.08 Number of peremptory challenges.--
(1) The state and the defendant shall each be allowed the following number of peremptory challenges:
(a) Ten, if the offense charged is punishable by death or imprisonment for life;
(b) Six, if the offense charged is punishable by imprisonment for more than 12 months but is not punishable by death or imprisonment for life;
(c) Three, for all other offenses.
(2) If two or more defendants are tried jointly, each defendant shall be allowed the number of peremptory challenges specified in subsection (1), and the state shall be allowed as many challenges as are allowed to all of the defendants.
913.10 Number of jurors.--Twelve persons shall constitute a jury to try all capital cases, and six persons shall constitute a jury to try all other criminal cases.
913.12 Qualifications of jurors.--The qualifications of jurors in criminal cases shall be the same as their qualifications in civil cases.
913.13 Jurors in capital cases.--A person who has beliefs which preclude her or him from finding a defendant guilty of an offense punishable by death shall not be qualified as a juror in a capital case.
913.15 Special jurors.--The court may summon jurors in addition to the regular panel.
Anything either side puts out to the media without documentation to prove it. No reason for leaks to the media if the case is going to trial. Put up or shut up IMO.
I cited no statistics, just a basic fact of life.
