So I heard today that there was a pro bono expert analysing social media (tweets specifically) during the trial to get a feeling for what the public felt about the prosecutions case as they were putting it on. They shared this info with the defense who then tailored their strategy to what they believed would most dramatically affect the jury.

Ie: if a lot of tweets said the public didn't like the father and felt he was hiding something, the defense would then create doubt around the father and a conspiracy of silence involving him.

Wanna bet judges start ordering tweeting out of their courtrooms?

Also, I've read that there are allegations of witness tampering, which are being investigated by the police. No idea who or what, however.
