"Citing a fear of tainting potential jurors, lawyers for sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo have asked a judge to seal reports and other pretrial evidence in the case from public view."
Do they really think that there is anything which can taint people further than the press coverage about two guys going around randomly killing people did? Good luck in trying to find jurors which haven't already been influenced; maybe the defense should look around and see if there are any monasteries in the jurisdiction. Of course, then you run into the problem of the prosecution excluding all your potential jurors (in violation of their 1st Amendment rights) because they have that pesky Catholic belief that the death penalty is sinful.
This defense has got to be frustrating.
