Election interference defendant wants change of venue, says he can't get fair trial in Fulton County

[RandySF]

One of the codefendants listed in the Georgia election interference indictment is asking the judge for a change of venue.

Harrison Floyd’s attorney filed a motion on Friday saying, “he contends that he cannot impanel a fair and impartial jury in Fulton County,” and instead, “seeks to have a fair and impartial jury impaneled from Coffee County, Georgia.”

Floyd says he feels that he can’t get a fair trial in Fulton County due to “the media coverage, negative governmental press conferences, and the political bias of potential jurors.”

1. Too bad so sad.

2. Criminal cop Derek Chauvin said the same thing and guess what?

He got due Process and a fair trial in Minneapolis where testimony, tough cross-examination, and an impartial jury convicted Chauvin on murder charges.

So the guy in Georgia who partook in that situation needs to take a breath and allow the process to play out.

3. "I Can't Get A Fair Trial Where I Committed My Crimes"

Obviously another delay tactic.

4. The voters he tried to disenfranchise deserve a fair trial.

8. He should have disenfranchise voters in Coffee cty.

5. Isn't he being tried with a group?

7. He committed and is being charged for crimes committed there.

Why would anyone that are jury members from outside of the area really care about justice there? In their mind they would be leaning to, it doesn't involve me.

If they didn't want Fulton County citizens to be members of the jury then they shouldn't have committed the crime there.

9. I think he wants a delay for a study he hopes will someday show he can't get a fair trial
