So despite what I've said before, the fact the notion got out there before the jury could impact the case even of there's no corroboration. We might never know.

I find it kind of funny when something is said or presented, but they the judge says that it needs to be stricken or not considered by the jury. Humans are emotional creatures and not robots that you can just erase memories or thoughts from.
I don't think I would be a good juror.
