The judicial system strives to provide fair and impartial trials, relying on jurors to evaluate evidence and make informed decisions. However, in an era dominated by the media, the impact of extensive coverage on public opinion cannot be ignored. The growth of the internet has made access to information more accessible than ever, and the explosion of social media has made exposure to unedited and starkly biased opinions of people involved in high-profile cases nearly unavoidable.
