The proper court or venue in a criminal case is the judicial district or county in which the crime was committed. In certain criminal matters where the crime received substantial publicity, the defense lawyer may motion the court for a change in venue. The motion is based on the argument that the defendant could not receive a fair trial in the county in which the crime took place because jurors have been exposed to the pretrial publicity and therefore predisposed to decide the case before hearing any of the evidence. At the conclusion of a trial the defendant will receive the decision of the jury regarding the defendant's guilt or innocence. The trial court, when it acts as the trier of fact, can also render a verdict.
All verdicts are subject to appeal and review by a higher court.
