Having served on a jury many times over the years I can say with confidence that the jury did NOT hear unfiltered evidence, they never do. The jury hears what the judge allows after the numerous bench conferences and chamber conferences where both sides argue over what should be admitted. Granted, the jury may have heard more that what was reported by the press but they also heard LESS than what was reported by the press.
