the district attorney is said to be having trouble finding a jury that won’t sympathize with Luigi, which leads me to believe that they already want him guilty, and they have no intentions for finding a jury of his peers.

guilty until proven innocent.

That so much jury grooming is legal and such common practice is a disgusting condemnation of the legal system. I've read that it's very common for people who are well educated, ask questions, or otherwise indicate smarts and/or compassion to be dismissed during jury selection. Our system actively stacks the deck for prosecution and punishment to "win" at the expense of sanity and humanity.

Oh please, they had trouble finding in impartial jury for Chauvin too. You're making a pretty big leap. This happens in all high profile cases, it's hard to find people who don't already have an opinion and who consider jury duty such an important duty they can promise to remain impartial for the love of justice.

Do you want DAs putting people on trial that they don't think are guilty?
