Is there any case law or case law supporting a motion for a change of venue?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Spinelli, 443 F.2d 2 (9th Cir. 1971):

Finally appellant complains that pre-trial publicity prevented him from having a fair trial and therefore the denial of a motion for change of venue was error. No authorities have been cited by appellant. The record here does not disclose the kind of pre-trial prejudice that prevented the defendant from receiving a fair trial from an impartial jury. Compare Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333, 86 S.Ct. 1507, 16 L.Ed.2d 600 (1966). Proper and precautionary questions were addressed to the jury on voir dire. The court fulfilled its duty in guarding the rights of the defendant from improper outside influences.

The judgment is affirmed.
