What is the effect of public interest in a police officer soliciting other police officers to commit armed robberies?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Young v. Superior Court, 126 Cal.App.3d 167, 178 Cal.Rptr. 394 (Cal. App. 1981):

We reject real party's contention that the nature and gravity of the offense is not such as to warrant a change of venue. In our opinion, this factor is relevant to a determination of whether the pretrial publicity involved a subject matter of sufficient interest to the general public that it is likely the publicity attracted the attention of the public. (Cf. Bunnell v. Superior Court (1975) 13 Cal.3d 592, 609, 119 Cal.Rptr. 302, 531 P.2d 1086.) This case involves allegations of a police officer soliciting other police officers to commit numerous armed robberies. We infer that this case attracted the public's attention in San Luis Obispo County. Police involvement and the bizarre nature of the proposed fly-in robberies make this case unusual and interesting.
