Change of venue a hot topic in high-profile court cases

by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio

The legal concept of "change of venue" has been in the news a lot recently. The attorney for the man accused of killing 13 people on a Texas military base says his client will have a difficult time getting a fair trial in Fort Hood "given the national media attention that has been focused" on the case.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with St. Paul attorney Jennifer Ampulski to get a better understanding of how "change of venue" works.
