The details of the trial don't really matter if someone with preconceived notions of the defendant is allowed onto the jury, and, given the defendant, that's a pretty hard ask. Even if the juror states that they can remain impartial, that's not necessarily true. I assume they'd do things like comb social media to check for major biases (assuming that's allowed), but you could still easily get someone who claims they'd be impartial while not actually being impartial. Properly filtering that out is probably a near impossible task.

I mean they kind of do if said people are not allowed to review the materials of the trial via third party sources so again you provided no damn answer.

Correct only information at the trial that was admitted as evidence. The introduction of outside information by a juror would be a major problem and would lead to juror dismissal.

Thank you this person provided an answer
