Blogs Cited as Reason for Attorney's Change-of-Venue Request
The National Law Journal's Peter Page is reporting that a "Tennessee defense attorney is arguing for a change of venue in a racially charged double murder by citing postings on Internet blogs along with newspaper and television reporting."
