I'm betting, more like two weeks.
What is to hate, so much or on the other hand love so much, that normal people, would not be able to control their emotional involvement with their personal opinions, to be able to render a judgement, simply based on the testimony and the law, as both sides (officers of the court) represent it? I don't like the guy, but that would not matter if I sat a jury. Some people may use that to get out of serving. The compensation for jury duty, never equalling pay and inconvenience. Then too, this being a high profile case, some may fear reprisal, especially if outed, and in this day an time, they probably will be found out, and nobody wants to be harassed by the Right or Left when the verdict does not go their way. Jurors are amazing people, having to set personal feelings aside, 12 people coming together, to hear and understand evidence, sometimes complicate, sometime sitting through emotional outbursts support defense or prosecution and still do their job, deciding on the evidence and law. I like our form of adversarial justice, under our laws, giving every accused the benefit of innocent until prove guilty, with two sides fighting it out to present or dispute evidence.
