Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. Press access to evidence in the case before the trial begins

Step-by-step explanation:

The press can have an influence on the perception of the defendant in a case. This influence can be negative because the more pieces of prejudicial information are presented pretrial, the more jurors' pretrial perceptions of the defendant can become more negative.
