Bookish: Is it inevitable that extensive media coverage in a big trial will affect the case itself, or do you think it's possible for a court case to remain "pure" even though everybody's talking about it?

Bookish: Impossible?
Marcia Clark: I do think it's impossible. You have constant commentary, and everybody's being scrutinized; everybody's talking about it endlessly. And that kind of attention changes the way the lawyers act, it changes the way the witnesses act. Everybody's aware of the focus [on them]. So you can never say it has no impact.
