True.
When they had the trial for the guy that killed the two schoolgirls,my friend at the BBC hinted that the accused had a history of such actions but the entire media industry agreed to not broadcast any of this for fear of jeapordising the judicial process.
If a prosecutor is not allowed to present previous convictions in a case (except at time of sentence) then the media should be prevented from doing so.
I can't understand how it's possible to find a non-biased jury for high profile crimes in the US. The Media broadcasts anything they think might get higher ratings, at the cost of justice.
