The hysteria and false narratives have been pervasive
and wide-spread, which have added significantly to the
existing false-narratives and hysteria that pervades in
Dallas County, making a fair trial here impossibl
No amount of voir dire or other remedial action by the
trial court can erase or mitigate the pervasive,
prejudicial, and inflammatory publicity in this case and
thus would be inadequate to protect Defendant's
constitutional and statutory rights to an impartial jury
Defendant has met the statutory requirements for a
change of venue under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 31.03.
Defendant has met the Henley factors for a change of
venue
