I bet you his attorney, (im sure many have already contacted him) will try to get his trial moved far away due to the magnitude of this case and amount of media coverage that the poor sex maniac murderer wont get a fair trial here in SLC
But, really, in Utah, there are hardly any counties with a large population of African people, aside from Salt Lake county, definitely not Summit county (Park City) or Provo. The county to the North, Weber, is more likely than not to have more black residents in the population, due to the military base in Ogden.
The Hi-Fi killers had their criminal trial in Ogden, and were sentenced to the death penalty for murder and torture. They went through all appeals based on the defense of "racism" was why they were convicted to the death penalty, both were given lethal injection, I believe.
There is the possibility of Tooele county, but unlikely. No real change of venue is going to help this guy. Utah juries are quite bloodthirsty, and not overly liberal, in regards to criminals despite SLC having a Democratic mayor.
