To Move or not to Move

Is it possible at all to find a set of jurors who are not influenced by what they know and have heard about the Oswego crash? I am not sure that is possible…
Judge warns of pre-trial publicity in Oswego crash case
Kendall County Judge Thomas Mueller is warning both sides not to talk to reporters about the Oswego crash case, or risk a transfer out of local courts.At a hearing Tuesday for Sandra Vasquez, the 23-year-old Aurora woman accused of driving in a Feb. 11 crash that killed five Oswego teens, the judge ordered both prosecutors and defense attorneys not to speak to either print or broadcast media about the case.
“The bottom line is this court has a strong desire to keep this case in circuit,” Mueller said. “I don’t know why anyone agreed to talk to him (ABC-TV reporter Chuck Goudie). Unless they wanted this case to go far away, this has got to stop.”
