The case would be tried in Little Rock, where Clinton is still a favorite son, before 12 jurors, and Jones would need a unanimous verdict to win. That's a big gamble, especially against a man with record approval ratings, whose capacity to get in trouble is exceeded only by the charm he can deploy...
