re: #42 Baier

Shanksville PA would fall into the Western District of PA (3d Circuit).

The DC attacks could be held in the DC federal district court.

While the DC federal court has had some experience with terror trials, the WDPA hasn’t, and the better venue would be SDNY. That said, KSM and his fellow minions might make a motion for a change in venue because of the prejudicial NY Post cover and other statements that affect the jury pool; it might result in shifting them to those other jurisdictions.

I don’t think the motion would succeed, but it would further delay the trial.
