Ron DeSantis said criminals should be tried in the locality where they live...

Ron DeSantis said criminals should be tried in the locality where they live, not where they committed their crimes. That must be why the state of Florida sent Ted Bundy back to Washington to be tried for the Chi Omega Murders. Oh wait, they didn't. He was tried and convicted in Florida. Apropos of nothing I used to drive past the Chi Omega House every day when I was in grad school at FSU. If my memory is correct and it was decades and decades ago it was parallel to the pool at the end of the campus.

By statute, the venue for a federal criminal trial must be where the crime was committed, regardless of where the defendant lives. 18 U.S.C. 3232 and Rule 18 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Desantis was disparaging the people of DC. Were the Floridians in the document case corrupt?
Makes no damn sense.
