'If the defendant can show that the prejudice is so great in the original venue that the defendant cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial, then the judge must transfer it to another venue,' said expert Henry H. Perritt Jr.
That case also shows how a judge could reasonably conclude that Trump would be treated fairly in D.C., particularly because the American legal system is built on the fundamental concept that a person should be judged by their local peers, who are best suited to consider the specific accusations at hand.
Hence, why defense lawyers occasionally succeed in changing the venue of a trial from one state to another. “Jurors’ political leanings are not, by themselves, evidence that those jurors cannot fairly and impartially consider the evidence presented and apply the law as instructed by the court,” sheChutkan also said moving the case out of D.C. wouldn’t mean jurors would be unaware of Jan. 6 or have no opinions on the matter.
