California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ainsworth, 248 Cal.Rptr. 568, 45 Cal.3d 984, 755 P.2d 1017 (Cal. 1988):
In this case the gravity and nature of the charged offense--capital murder--must weigh heavily in our determination. However, the extent and nature of the publicity appears "no different in degree or intensity than the usual reporting of other homicides of the kind involved here." (Odle v. Superior Court (1982) 32 Cal.3d 932, 939, 187 Cal.Rptr. 455, 654 P.2d 225.)
