Everyone charged with a crime, especially one as serious as murder, deserves as fair a trial as possible.
Mr. Allen deserved a fair shot at a full life but was denied that. Fair is Fair right?

I hope his cellmate is 7' 4", wears size 18 shoes, and is the biggest gay nymphomaniac this world has to offer.
sorry couldn't help myself

Relevant to cases that get national attention like this, no, not really except it will reduce the chances of personal connections or bias to the victim or defendant. You can't un-see the media coverage, but the judge may have been a bar-buddy with Lt Allen, or a juror may have a grudge against the perps cousin. Juror selection can't select for ALL possible connections and ties. That being said, in cases that don't get media attention there are absolutely justifications for a change of venue. Such as the PA's neighbor getting a DUI; it's a conflict of interest for the PA, so they request a change of venue (true story BTW).This story got national attention, and really, in the internet age where information is at nearly everyone's fingertips, is a change of venue even relevant anymore? But yes, given Marion County's swinging door justice system, PLEASE take him to somewhere else where criminals aren't given the keys to the city.
I'm sorry but to agree would completely undermine our justice system. Many may live by the motto "an eye for an eye" but some do not.Mr. Allen deserved a fair shot at a full life but was denied that. Fair is Fair right?

The fundraiser for Lt. Allan's family is nearly to the 125k mark.

Total coincidence that he's up for reelection next year, I suppose.
Perhaps.Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. When an officer is shot 11 times and killed, seeking the death penalty seems like "just a cigar" to me.
I think those are the only officers killed during Curry's term in office.
Ah - of course, I was negligent in my off hand description. Bradway (I know someone who knew him well) didn't cross my mind because I was thinking only of prosecutions.Bradway, but the suspect was also killed in the exchange, so of course the prosecutor's office didn't have to make any charging decisions.
Curry isn't crap as Prosicuter! Bring back Stevie G! Then you'll get some death penalties.
No confidence in Curry. Revolving door swings pretty easily under him.
