"How can a celebrity receive an impartial jury?
The Sixth Amendment provides that the accused has the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury. An impartial jury is a jury that will consider a case fairly. An impartial jury does not immediately assume guilt or innocence. As with the case problem involving Winona Ryder, how does the accused and other celebrities receive an impartial jury? Trials involving celebrities capture much attention. It is likely that most potential jurors either hold celebrities in high regard or the opposite, resent their celebrity. In a trial involving a celebrity, during voir dire do attorneys assume that potential jurors are familiar with the case and use different tactics for jury selection?"
