6 Officers Charged In Freddy Gray Death; 2nd Deg. Murder & Manslaughter

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

There should be zero chance of a change of venue. I can't imagine any credible claim could be made for a jury pool less tainted by media coverage could be found in other parts of the state. At least CCSF's attempt at jury shopping did not seek to move the case to the Eastern Shore, a current Republican and former Confederate stronghold.

Appears multiple legal scholars on Fox News agreed with my notions - for officers to get fair and impartial jury, trial must be moved to greater Maryland, and must include new prosecutor.

Because we all know that cable networks never pander to the biases of their viewers.

Just to clarify, I think that it is possible, tho not likely, that the prosecutor may be replaced. However, is it really a conflict of interest if a lawyer sides with the party they are advocating on behalf of? I think not.

They should move the trial to Prince George's county.

 No need to be just as obnoxious in the other partisan direction.

Well, if the argument is that "it is impossible to have a fair trial because everybody in Baltimore knows about the case and because of the riots", why would moving the trial to a jurisdiction with similar demographics and political composition as the original, but without the riots, obnoxious? Or what was the argument for moving the trial?

Similar political composition?  Granted, it's not as extreme a change politically as in the other direction, but per capita, Prince George County has roughly 20% fewer Republicans (i.e., fair and balanced jurors in the view of Faux News) than does the City of Baltimore.

But I would still like to hear an argument for not moving it to Prince George's county (assuming it has to be moved).

Not that I think it should be moved, but if the trial were moved because of media contamination, moving it to a county in the Baltimore or Washington media markets makes little sense.  Maybe one of the Appalachian counties in the Pittsburgh market or one of the Eastern Shore counties in the Salisbury market would have a reduced level of media contamination, tho I doubt that given the national attention the case has received.
