What I was getting to is that if, because of governmental involvement, or particular notoriety, the defendant can't get a fair and impartial review, take it elsewhere. Do the same for a trial.

What I'm suggesting is that if there is a risk the prosecution will be less than impartial, take it our of their hands. I'm not saying it's a good solution, or even that it would work. Hence the tentative tone of my post.
