I've got to wonder how it could ever be possible to find an 'unbiased' jury for such a high profile case...

One of those uncontacted tribes.

That's a great idea. Let's just ship him to North Sentinel Island and let them handle it.

Hard to find a jury of your peers when everyone on the planet thinks you're a fucking tool. Even his rich fuck friends hate him.

That's what happens when you're life goal is to make sure everyone in the world knows that you're a massive, rancid, suppurating hemorrhoid that needs to be excised from the planet. Ooo, let's convince him he could catch up to his car and drive it back!

I agree with you but mostly I'm here for the new word I just learned..."suppurating". Thanks!
