Okay well I can basically agree about voir dire although I don t think always is true it s a question of whether the defence lawyers choose to challenge any jurors This is the same as in the UK and probably essentially the same as in Italy On sequestration the source doesn t say they are sequestered in cases where media coverage can be prejudicial is says they can be but that sequestration has fallen so far out of favor that judges rarely bother anymore Again this is probably the same as in Italy Can we at least agree that the Time article is in error Dependent on context it may be appropriate to explain the Italian system so long as this is not coatracking and we have solid sourcing for out explanations ie we are not just regurgitating someone s spin If we are reporting on media reports of the trial and the coverage of the trial then fair enough My query was about where in these media reports and coverage it talks about tabloids going after someone accused of a crime with venom for an extended period of time or similar
