"American Taliban" John Lindh didn't win a venue change from Virginia. TalkLeft yesterday mentioned the venue transfer in the OKC bombing trials...interesting that the Judge in rejecting the comparison first said that Oklahoma was not a national tragedy like Sept. 11...then quickly corrected himself to say of course it was. Probably saved himself a lot of outrage by citizens of Oklahoma. But why not agree with the need for a venue change? Of course everyone in the country knows about Sept. 11...everyone knew about Oklahoma in 1995. The test isn't whether jurors knew about it, but whether they can be fair and not have opinions as to Walker's guilt. Surely the jury pool so close to the Pentagon is going to be more personally and emotionally involved than a jury in Marin County or Alaska. The presumption of innocence means he's entitled to have the trial start with a clean slate in the mind of the jurors.
