Murder In Moscow: Will Judge Marshall Order A Change Of Venue For Bryan Kohberger's Trial? (2/18/23)
A judge may change a trial venue for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Pretrial Publicity: If pretrial publicity about a case is so extensive that it might bias the jury pool in the original venue, a judge may move the trial to a different location to ensure a fair trial.
- Convenience: Sometimes, a judge may change the trial venue if the original venue is not convenient for the parties involved or if there is a more suitable location for the trial.
- Safety Concerns: In some cases, a judge may change the trial venue due to safety concerns. For example, if there are threats or concerns about the safety of witnesses, jurors, or other participants in the trial, a judge may move the trial to a location that can better ensure the safety of everyone involved.
- Jury Pool: If it is difficult to find a fair and impartial jury in the original venue, a judge may move the trial to a different location where the jury pool is less likely to be biased or tainted by the circumstances surrounding the case.
In this episode, we hear from several local scholars and lawyers who discuss the possibility of a change in venue for the trial of Bryan Kohberger.
