That won't happen because that is not how a change in venue works. The defense can request a change in venue because they believe a fair trial is not possible in the current venue. If the judge agrees he will allow a change in venue of his choice but he will not dismiss the case without hearing it. The system has a number of safeguards against prejudice toward the defendant. Both the prosecution and the defense can dismiss jurors for cause or no cause at all. The judge can set a side any verdict if he believes the jury is not acting impartially.If I was his defense lawyer I would file a simple motion, arguing: "My client cannot get a fair trial anywhere in the United States."
