I pointed out to you earlier, the location of the trial has constitutional implications, and the venue of the GJ and the trial are the same.

I don't mind if you think YOU can get hauled off to Utah, or New Jersey of Alabama, at the prosecution whim of maximizing incovenience to you, or minimizing it to them, but fact of the matter is, you have a constitutional right to be tried WHERE the crime was commited, and if YOU commited it, you more or less picked your venue.

If a USA bring a GJ in the wrong venue, it ends up being waste, so from a department eficiency standpoint, he should convene GJ were the case is going to be tried, etc. It's not illegal if he convenes a GJ elsewhere. Knock himself out in Alaska or Hawaii for all the court cares.

And if the state shows that the ORIGIN of the conspiracy can be traced to a central gathering place like can be found in UTAH, then they MAY request a Grand Jury and trial in that jurisdiction.

Q points this out for some reason, I'm quite sure.

p.s. You are fun to argue with, cboldt. I like how you make my brain think, right or wrong.
