Guilty until proven innocent? Potential juror mentions my post as TS article

This afternoon Ryan Burns, Paul Mann and I were sitting in while Judge Timothy Cissna and attorneys in the Jason Warren case were questioning individual jurors.

Having sat in jury selection for a few trials, when asked about media it is usually TS or Channel 3 that gets mentioned. A couple of instances with LOCO and my blog.

Today, a potential juror mentioned the exact headline of a post I did linked on LOCO but said she read it in the TS or LOCO, could not recall.

Ryan did mention that in his article but it was the exact headline in my post linked on LOCO.

In fairness to that juror, most people will read the same article or an article and remember some content but not the byline.

I joked with Ryan and Paul that I would be glad to have TS take the blame!

Clearly social media does not affect jury pools!

The theme of this afternoon was guilty until proven innocent mentality of a couple of potential jurors in a row.
