Coyote, I do appreciate your comments. However, I have run headlines for years saying something like "Smith DWI case rescheduled for July" or "Jones embezzlement trial to begin Monday." That's pretty standard.
When the jury pool is interviewed by the judge and the prosecutor and the defense attorneys, everybody will be asked if they have read or heard any news coverage of the case. For a case like this, pretty much anybody who has read my articles or those in the Daily Guide or heard Gary Knehans' coverage on KJPW/KFBD will be disqualified from the jury. That can't be done with really well-known cases in which the jurors will be asked if they believe they can set aside anything they may have heard to render a fair and impartial decisions based only on the facts presented to them as jurors, but in a case like this, we can make a fair guess that the judge and the lawyers won't have a problem finding a Maries County jury of 12 people who haven't heard anything about the case before.
