Will it Make a Difference?

The judge in the Scott Peterson case ruled to move the trial out of Stanislaus County because intense media attention may have prejudiced the juror pool.

Prosecutors fought to have it remain in Modesto, arguing that the publicity was so widespread that moving the trial would not make a difference.

I agree with the prosecuters. I mean, c'mon. I live in Pennsylvania and I've heard as much about it as anyone in Modesto. A memorial service for Laci Peterson was broadcast on three cable news networks for goodness sake. Is there anyone in the country who doesn't know more about this case than he/she wants to know?
