    Who knows, but are you assuming that the prosecutors are nonpartisan…? And I’m not an expert on US law, but I thought pre-trial stuff is kept as quiet as possible to not impact the jury selection process and such?

      it will be hard to choose a juror, that hasnt heard about Kirk recently, unless your a boomer/retiree or someone very naive that doesnt consume much media, thats how they choose the jurors.

      Ideally, but America is one of those stupid places that makes prosecutor an elected office, so they’re always keen to grandstand when the press is biting.
