Thanks for this. On the face of it, and by comparison with a Means Motion(TM), it doesn't seem wholly crazy to grant a change of venue, although I'm not sure it's likely to help Chad, given that what scans as "fringe" to someone who is well-disposed towards mainstream versions of some of the beliefs connected to CD and LDV might seem straight-up unhinged to a jury drawn from just about anywhere, including Boise.
I hadn't heard about some of the other claims in this motion, though -- especially the "email sent by Daybell's sister-in-law to local members of the Church [addressing] how Chad's alleged fringe religious beliefs and the case impacted her and her family." Has this letter been published?
I guess if anything the motion underscores how good a job EastIdahoNews has done in reporting the details comprehensively.
