How will they ever find impartial jurors in the child's murder trial?

I am referring to the child who was left in a hot car by his father, Ross Harris.

I suppose there could be someone who didn't hear about the sexting or the computer searches and possibly fall for the "I was too tired to remember" story. But a full jury of those people?

Here's the link to more about the jury selection from Wsb-tv 2

just too sick for words. I get upset hearing about a dog left in a car and this person was able to go back to his car during the day and not see his child? And he googled hot car deaths prior to this?

Why would anyone lie about their background for a jury service? Rumored to have lied about getting a baseball scholarship. WTH?

You'd think they'd have decided to move the trial before spending 3 weeks questioning potential jurors, but the judge agreed with defense motion to move the trial. New report said it could take 'several months' to restart the process.
