Washington sniper trial moved as defence argues jury pool is tainted
Circuit Court Judge Jane Marum Roush said she feared Malvo wouldn't be able to get a fair trial in the Washington DC suburbs, where the sniper attacks terrorised residents over a three-week period last fall.
Defence argued that massive pretrial publicity had tainted the jury pool against their client, and they said every resident of Fairfax County could be considered a victim, considering the wave of fear that gripped the region.
