I agree that free speech has significant value and restrictions should only be put in place when required to uphold other rights.
I'm sure you're not alone in your opinion that a jury is able to ignore what they've heard about a case in the media. However you do disagree with the current judicial system of most developed nations. That doesn't necessarily make you wrong. I think there is merit to the argument you're making, I just am not convinced that people can ignore information like that.
