Change of Venue + Sequestration = An Orange County Trial

Dec 29th, 2009 by Richard Hornsby.

Riddle me this:

If Judge Strickland were to grant Casey Anthony’s Motion for Change of Venue and also sequester the jury, where would the trial held?

Answer: Orange County

See Section 910.03(3), Florida Statutes.

If a court finds that a fair and impartial jury cannot be impaneled in the county where the offense was committed, and
the court determines that once a jury is selected it shall be sequestered, the court on its own motion, or upon a motion
of any party, may elect to select a jury from a county other than where the offense was committed. … Upon
completion of jury selection, the jury shall be brought for trial to the county where the offense was committed.
