CALIFORNIA EVIDENCE: CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
...Court Control of Proceedings
......Change of Venue
3 Cards On This Topic:

Trial court properly denied venue change in Bakersfield murder, as media coverage not so extensive and negative as to require presumption of prejudice, and county size showed unbiased jury could be found.

Court did not err in motion to change venue filed after jury sworn in where no good cause to dismiss jury.

Where informant in Ventura County negotiated drug sale by phone with dealer in LA County, and drugs delivered in LA by accomplice who was not part of phone negotiations, either county was proper venue for prosecution.
