One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters ' extensive use of Twitter - created a “ circus atmosphere ” and such widespread , instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions .

The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules .

“ As I experienced it during this trial , I think there 's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual 's fair-trial rights , ” said Thomas J. Ullmann , Mr. Hayes 's chief defense lawyer .

The trial judge , Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court , tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week , saying that the news media were “ carefully controlled ” and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion .

But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue .

But their arguments about the effect of the intense coverage of the trial may draw the most interest .

They noted in a challenge to the verdict filed last month that the case dominated the news in Connecticut and was discussed during the election campaign by candidates for governor and the United States Senate .

They argued that the news media continually fanned the flames of emotion about the case .

“ The daily crush of media tweets , cameras and reporters outside the courthouse , ” the lawyers wrote , “ was unlike anything ever seen here in New Haven and maybe statewide . ”

Their focus on the Twitter coverage is controversial .

The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid ( Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos ) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if , both players should be sanctioned by UEFA .

As we all know , a few minutes before the end of the game ( that their team had already won ) , both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them .

This way , and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group , both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league , against Auxerre , and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase .

Finally , the committee of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team , Jose Mourinho , and with different economic amounts the implied players .

The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice , but rather frequent in the world of football .

It is so extended that it part of the ethos , of the unwritten rules , but followed nonetheless by this sport .

Part of the debate arisen in the related case is caused by the fact that has been carried out by team of the Real Madrid organization ( that in its hymn presumes of nobility and honor , and that has fined its players for analogous acts ) and by the dramatization orchestrated , apparently , by Mourinho , who adds one more to his expanded history of histrionic and provoking technician .

Anyway , the debate deals with if that type of behavior not prohibited specifically by the regulation contradicts the principles of the sport , that is to say , if with these actions fraud is committed ; then , indeed , they are respectful actions with the sport regulation , but they seem to elude its sense .

The matter examines the type of damage that is brought to the sporting spirit .

One of the advantages that include the sport spirit is the physical integrity of the opposite players , aspect that with these actions was n't put into danger , that is to say , there was no violent game .

Another of these advantages to which it is alluded to with the fare-play is to avoid that the team of the lawbreaker players takes advantage unjustly of the opposite team , which did not happen either .

They waited for and accepted the sanction with no complaints .

Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out .

Here it seems necessary to state that it is n't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game , because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players .

And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game , because the club will not be able to count on those players .

The advantage , obviously , consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game .

The advantage , obviously , consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game .

But it is about a long term advantage , with a certain degree of indetermination , because the team can be eliminated first of change , and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards , in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle .

So that , by passing rounds , it is not so clear that it is an advantage .
