issue is, cannery such an undermining of faith in a system prior to the jury ever hearing the case? now, there are ways that a judge can sniffed out jurors who have preconceived notions and can t put those aside one way or another, because a lot of the times you have people who aren t as candid as they should be and they have going out there jury questionnaires and answering the judges questions. but i think that s one of the reasons it s useful for shows like this. i think it is usual for prosecutors at the doj to the extent they can within ethical guidelines, speak about the legitimacy of what they are doing. let me give you one very quick example, that would be the fact that there are many, many, many people who have been charged for formula. in other words, donald trump is not being singled out. you have cia director is, national security advisers under democratic administrations who have been charged and prosecuted and
differences when you are dealing with trying a case that is of national import. because there is, of course, the actual trial. you have a jury and it s relatively easy this is what joyce and i and many others are trying to do. and yes, the defense is supposed to distract and raise issues and our job when we were prosecutors s as joyce said to keep a very focused. but here there is also the court of public opinion and the issue is can there be such an undermining of faith in the system prior to the jury ever here in case. there are ways the judge can sit out jurors who have preconceived notions and can t put those aside one way or the other. because a lot of times you have people who aren t as candid as they should be making it difficult. they fill out their jury
what they want to do is seat jurors who, despite having knowledge of the case, can put those preconceived notions aside and focus on what is happening in the courtroom and that is going to be the inquiry here. there were jury questionnaires that came up beforehand. the judge is conducting voir dire which is asking jurors questions. in order to make that assessment, it is a difficult situation when you re in this tight knit community with a high-profile individual. we ll watch it, expected to last a couple of days. so i have a feeling we ll be talking about it again. nice to see you. the city of atlanta saw a weekend filled with violence. a 13-year-old boy shot and killed on saturday night. police say there has been a spike in fatal shootings involving children specifically under the age of 16 in that city. now on that same night, six people were arrested downtown when protests against a propose the police training facility named cop city turned violent. cnn s ryan young is in a
