I know--I don't get it!

I can say this much, though. Yes, a request to change venue based on publicity "tainting" potential jurors--yes, that might be legitimate, but never have I heard of the requestor being able to dictate where the venue is changed to.

I mean, "forum-shopping" is frowned on by courts. And there are many mechanisms in place, in various contexts, to prevent it. This matter at hand is not exactly forum-shopping, but it's very close, IMO.
