Maybe I’m in the minority, but I think moving the case to Boise might work against the defense. In Rexburg, I think the Mormon population is 96%; in Boise, it’s 16%. Because so much of this case rests on how they strayed from Mormon doctrine, and whatever it is that Chad and Lori believe, the LDS religion and their interpretation would have to be, I’d think, a key part of the case. To mainstream LDS members, the Mormon faith itself would not seem in any way odd. But, with respect to anyone here who is LDS, if you aren’t it’s not exactly a religion that doesn’t seem somewhat … fantastical. (And yes, all now mainstream religions have plenty of fantastical elements but their origin stories and theology have become accepted. I don’t think Mormonism/LDS is viewed the same way.) So right from the get go, Boise jurors who aren’t Mormon are likely going to think the entire premise is whacko. There would be no potential sympathy for them being led astray from traditional Mormon doctrine because non-believers are less likely to see that as having a normal baseline. They would, I think, see this as the usual motivated by greed/lust murder case. With odd religious overtones.
