> Attorneys for Tesla and Elon Musk are asking a federal judge in San Francisco to move, or delay, a forthcoming trial from Northern California to Western Texas, saying they won’t be able to find unbiased jurors and citing “local negativity” toward Musk.
Is this a valid reason to move a trial? If so, I'd have expected every D.C. based trial against Trump to have been moved out as well.
- encryptluks2 4y agoNo it isn't unless he can somehow prove that and he can't. A valid reason may be something like the laws at hand are based on Texas statues and so therefore a Texas judge will have a better understanding on how to apply relevant state law.
