I ' m not sure I ' m following . I think I may be just misinterpreting your comment , but the almost allwhite jury was a fact associated with the Michael Slager trial a cop in Charleston who shot a man to death in his back while he was running away . That part of my comment was entirely unrelated to the Roof jury not selected yet or trial . It was just relevant to the Slager trial . Roof ' s federal trial is getting underway and both are in the same area of the US . I pointed out that I have friends there and am from the general area to explain why the coverage is more available to me as opposed to nationally . I was making the point that neither trial is getting coverage that would seem appropriate for two incidents that caused major conflict , riots , protests and completely understandable outrage . I find it interesting that neither trial is getting the attention I thought they would get at the time the crimes happened . It ' s unfortunate that the resolution to two horrible incidents are just around the corner and the medianot a lot of people are paying much attention . I think any jury will convict Roof . The trial will determine the death penalty , of course . Terrible and sad stuff .
