Kevin Gough raised concerns that the presence of Rev. Al Sharpton and other 'high-profile' African-Americans could intimidate the jury.
“Jesse Jackson, or whoever was in here earlier this week trying to influence the jury in this case. And I’m not saying the state is even aware that Mr. Sharpton was in the courtroom, I certainly wasn’t aware of it until last night,” Gough said, adding, “I think the court can understand my concern about bringing people in who really don’t have any ties to this case other than political interests.
“I noticed him once and that was it and the fact that nobody else even noticed he was in here means that everybody complied with the court’s rulings on sitting in this courtroom and listening to the evidence,” Walmsley said. “I don’t hear a motion and I will tell you this, I’m not going to blanketly exclude members of the public from this courtroom.
