They're having trouble getting jurors in one of the trials against Elon Musk because "so many people hate him so much" https://www.law360.com/articles/2443845/-hate-for-musk-quickly-narrows-jury-pool-in-twitter-deal-trial

@taylorlorenz OK, but... I don't see how they're obliged to find people who have no opinion of his antics, anymore than they'd be obliged to find a jury of people with no opinion on murder for such a trial?

I mean sure, jurors should not know the suspect or victim personally, but this guy very deliberately injected himself in everyone's lives & also keeps breaking the law - and then all those chickens come home to roost & suddenly that's the legal system's problem? Isn't it kinda what you get?
