Even though I understand that the settlement between City and the family was a separate case, IMO it should had been delayed until after the trial. Since there was a historically high , well publicized settlement and a De facto addition of guilt by one party , and a reasonable request for change of venue was made, it should had been granted, but for political reasons was not, tainting the process. Then in a sensitive and well publicized case such as this a request for the jury to be sequester for a few days was rejected, Why?
