Courts have held that the impartial-jury guarantee means that the jurors should be able to put aside any biases or prejudices and make a decision based solely on the evidence presented during the trial. This means that the jury should be open-minded and fair as evidence is presented. While it is ideal for the jury to have no prior knowledge of the case or the defendant, it is not always practical or possible. Therefore, the key factor is that the jurors approach the case in an impartial manner during the trial.
