One example:

If Erica's traffic stop had occurred while the jury had their day off, the judge would have been compelled to order a new trial. (Even after ordering that the jury not view any Media).

In the new trial, that traffic stop—and any and every previous offense—would have never been heard by a jury.
Right, because the traffic stop has absolutely NOTHING to do with the boating accident. While parts of the story regarding the traffic stop may speak to her character, the 2 events are completely unrelated.
