I worked at a big law firm at the time and during the final days and fir reading of the verdict, someone had the tv on. Most everyone watched at least parts.

When requested to do so, the judge should have declared a mistrial because the atmosphere did not allow for a fair verdict.<br /><br />None of that matters.
