Does a change of venue need to be considered to prevent a defendant from being prejudiced in their trial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Murray v. Schriro, 746 F.3d 418 (9th Cir. 2014):
Skilling v. United States, 561 U.S. 358, 130 S.Ct. 2896, 291213, 177 L.Ed.2d 619 (2010). When an impartial jury cannot be empaneled due to pretrial publicity, a change of venue at the request of the defendant is appropriate to prevent violation of the defendant's due process right to a fair trial. See id. at 2913.
