(( Attorneys for Louis Ceparano continue to maintain their client will not receive a fair trial in Grayson County because of extensive pretrial publicity.
Ceparano is one of two white men charged with burning and beheading Garnett "G-P" Johnson after a night of heavy drinking, last July.
In fact, alcohol was one of the issues explored in the courtroom...
with defense attorneys asking some potential jurors if they would be open to the theory that a person could consume enough alcohol that they would not be able to premeditate a murder.
Defense attorneys also asked potential jurors if they would be able to handle seeing pictures of Johnson's badly burned and decapitated body.
And, while some of the victim's family members say race was not a factor in the killing-- it was alluded to in court.
Defense attorneys actually cautioned potential jurors the word nigger and other profanity would probably come out in testimony. [TAKE SU]
One other questioned posed to the potential jurors was whether they'd be more likely to convict Ceparano-- to send a message to outsiders that Grayson County is NOT a prejudiced community.
