@psycobleach46 It is very much within the rights of the accused to call for a change of venue. It is more common than you think or care to admit.

@roberthitchman5073 Not entirely true. Either the plaintiff or the defense can request a change of venue on account of not getting a fair trail because of tainted juries. It just happens that should the judge deny the motion for the defense, it becomes grounds for overturning a conviction on appeal. The defense can point to the rejection followed by conviction as evidence of bias by the court.

Jury nullification is within the power of the jury. I'm surprised the judge allowed it to stand. Most judges will dismiss a juror if they give even a hint of considering jury nullification.

@psycobleach46 You have failed to disprove anything I have said. Caveats as you have laid out is not prove of negative. And it is pretty clear that it would have been completely appropriate that change the venue, a power that even a judge can automatically invoke. But I see you still blindly trust in people who pervert the law for a living.

@psycobleach46 Uncommon doesn't mean it doesn't happen as you are trying to claim. Nice job moving the goal posts. That is a logical fallacy, by the way.

@zorkwork3841 The whole organizations should be disbanded. Remember, its founder J Edgar Hoover used the FBI to gather blackmail on politicians and bullied presidents; no president was willing to fire the man.
