DeLay attorneys want change of venue

From the mouth of DeLay attorney Dick DeGuerin - law mandates this type of case be returned to the home county of the accused. That would put the trial in Fort Bend County, outside of Houston. Would the free publicity in Fort Bend County be a wise move with the 06 election just one year away? Here is the risk as I see it...take your chance with a conviction in a very liberal county or have a trial on your home turf and possibly lose an election. Just where do run to?

How about that liberal Travis County?

Defense attorneys argue that DeLay has been vilified in liberal Travis County, which was split into three different congressional districts as a result of a redistricting map DeLay engineered.
