Oh, I love this. He says that while national coverage of the case is extensive, it is small in comparison to coverage of it in Stanislaus County. (Tell that to Tijeras Slim and Constitution Day!)

Er... what event ISN'T covered more widely in the location where it happened, than in other places?

And then he tries to take an end run around the Witherspoon decision (concerning prosecutors' being able to question jurors to determine if they have political or other personal opposition to death penalty). He says in essence that there are more people in favor of the death penalty in Stanislaus, than in L.A., Alameda, or Santa Clara counties. Oh, boo hoo! It just so happens that the death penalty for certain types of murder is LEGAL in California. So, he objects that there are too many people in Stanislaus County who are willing to follow the law as it stands??

LOL. Figures you went right to analyzing the "legal jargon".
