From The Denver Post:  Defense attorneys in the Aurora theater-shooting case want to close jury selection to the public and to spend extra time quizzing potential jurors about their views on the insanity defense.

In a preview of jury-selection issues to be discussed Thursday at a scheduled hearing, the defense says in a court filing that allowing members of the public and survivors of the attack to watch jury selection would cause potential jurors to change their answers to questions.

“With the added pressure of facing the witnesses, victims and worldwide media, the likelihood of any juror being able to honestly self-diagnose and expose their own biases is nil,” the defense’s filing states.
