editDid You Know
... change of venue is the legal term for moving a jury trial away from a location where a fair and impartial jury may not be possible due to widespread publicity about a crime and/or the defendant(s)?
Hey Andy Smith, you're in the UK, I am a real Deputy Marshal in the US. The opening cry MUST include the original county the suspect was charged in and the current county the trial is in. If not the entire trial is unlawful. Please do not "clean up" things you don't know. It's been corrected.
Latin origin of the word venue
editThe Wikipedia entry on the word "venue" says it derives from the Latin "to come". This entry has a different Latin origin. Can this be fixed? See: "In law, the word venue designates the location where a trial will be held. It derives from the Latin word for "a place where people gather." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.5.71.245 (talk) 19:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
