The DNC is working to taint the Jury pool and don’t want the Trial moved.
What do they want? It seems that there will eventually, no matter where the trial is held, be a verdict of either guilty or of not guilty by virtue of insanity. Should the government want to put on “evidence” that they whole thing is the fault of Governor Palin, et al, the venue won’t matter.
I don’t understand how the government would be advantaged by a move other perhaps than by eliminating one basis for appeal should he be found guilty and not insane. It seems that the pre-trial publicity adverse to the nut (and I haven’t seen much favorable to him) has been rampant nationwide rather than uniquely in Arizona. Another issue, of course, involves the difficulty of transporting witnesses to a new venue. That would be inconvenient but far from impossible to do.
do the liberals see a second “Scopes” show-trial here ?
