Says Hilling 'Old' Richard Uvillcr, a former New York prosecutor who caches criminal law at Columbia University, said Judge Milley's ruling "seemed odd." "There have been many Instances of highly publicized 1 crimes in which it has proved possible, though difficult, to assemble an impartial jury nevertheless," Uvillcr said in discussing the action with a newsman.
