I am not at all sure that this is a bad venue for Z. It’s a pretty well off, R-leaning county, I do believe.
Any other city would have to bear the costs of security and disruptions. They can bring in a jury from outside if it gets that far, however, since racial discrimination has bee dismissed by the FBI, what they need is just a fair balanced unbiased judge to hear George Zimmerman with an open mind and then dismiss the case at a SYG hearing -- and then it's over.
