The intense publicity surrounding the case and Clarett's recent arrest following a police chase make it impossible for the former Ohio State star to receive a fair trial in Franklin County, his attorneys claim. In a motion requesting the poll, they asked the court for funds to pay for it.
Prosecutors oppose the motion, calling it inadmissible and against court procedure.
The county shouldn't have to pay for polling because Clarett has not proven to the court that he cannot pay for his own defense, prosecutor Ron O'Brien said Thursday.
Clarett is awaiting a Sept. 18 trial on charges that he robbed two people of a cellphone outside a bar early on New Year's Day. He was arrested Aug. 9 after a police chase and charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
