I want justice

The judicial system in the United States is (or rather was) based on the principal that the accused is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law in front of an unbiased jury of his/her peers. Our judicial system in many cases today is broken. It is impossible to seat a truly unbiased jury in this age of 24 hour news coverage and social media. As an example, the Derek Chauvin case, the story has been spread to every corner of the country, the possibility of someone not having already formed an opinion is extremely unlikely. This could be said about so many high profile cases, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and many others. I'm not saying any of these people are innocent or guilty, i don't know the answer to that as i try to avoid the media as much as possible but look at what i just said...it proves my point, i TRY to avoid the media but it borders on impossible. I do have an opinion on Chauvin even though i made every effort to avoid the news. I won't tell you what that opinion is because quite frankly it doesn't matter, i'm not on the jury LOL I think we need to go back to keeping the media OUT of the court house and they should not be allowed to report on high profile cases, particularly in a manner that espouses their personal opinions.
