I have no reason to believe that the picture in their tweet was the item seized in this instance. They could be using a stock photo. But hey, why worry about tainting the jury pool, right? Guilty!

> But hey, why worry about tainting the jury pool, right? Guilty! How many people do you think follow that twitter account? Even if half the citizens have prior knowledge of a case, you'd just pick the jury out of the other half.

  It's in the news story. No one need follow that twitter handle just to see those pictures.

  God my life would be so much easier if I could just choose which half of America the jury pool came from.

    Jury selection is a thing and it is used heavily exactly for the goal you described. Usually the problem is that people with public defenders bullied by the prosecutors settle before even reaching a jury.

The original photo is from the Mercury News and credited to the Morgan Hill police department. https://web.archive.org/web/20210827050158/https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/08/26/signal-jammer-found-at-morgan-hill-residence/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210827050158/https://www.mercu... Somewhat interestingly, the photo is no longer in the story, hence the wayback link. Though the hi-res photo itself remains: https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/SJM-L-MHJAM-0827.jpg https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/SJM-L...
