Criminal Procedure - Change of Venue for Jury Prejudice

Authors

Norman K. Clark

Abstract

The United States Supreme Court has held that a state statute preventing a change of venue for a jury trial in a criminal case, solely on the ground that the crime with which defendant was charged was a misdemeanor, violates the right to trial by impartial jury guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment.

Groppi v. Wisconsin, 400 U.S. 505 (1971).
