The defense team retained Jo-Ellen Dimitrius, a crack jury consultant with a record of success with Los Angeles juries. Donald Vinson, president of Decision Quest, one of the nation’s top jury consultants, offered his services for free to the prosecution. — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 835
