Quite an argument from US Capitol riot defendant Chris Worrell, an accused Proud Boy who allegedly used chemical spray vs. police
Worrell asks court to transfer his case to Florida, alleging a "homogenous" juror pool in DC, "95%" of whom don't support Trump
But ... (thread)
Feds respond to accused Capitol Insurrectionist Chris Worrell's request to transfer case to Florida, but arguing he has NOT been "vilified" by media in DC.
And then adds -- with a strong punch -- that prospective jurors have no idea who Chris Worrell is.
Feds say Chris Worrell's request to transfer his US Capitol riot case away from DC (to Florida) because of DC media scrutiny is also faulty ... because they say he's getting even worse press in Florida
!! And - this is perhaps most interesting. Feds say Capitol riot defendant Chris Worrell should NOT have his case transferred to Florida, because Worrell's concern about anti-Trump jurors isn't justifiable
They say DC jurors were trusted with...um... Nixon staffers in Watergate
