I must wonder, in such an open and shut case, what a change of venue might accomplish? I guess they want to find a jury sympathetic to Kessler's world view.

Kessler Requesting Case to be Moved Out of Albemarle Circuit Court

ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) -

The organizer of a controversial rally in downtown Charlottesville is asking for his case to be heard in a different court.

Jason Eric Kessler appeared in Albemarle Circuit Court Wednesday, December 27, for a status hearing. He is facing a felony count of perjury.

The Unite the Right rally organizer was indicted by an Albemarle County grand jury back in October. Kessler allegedly lied on a criminal complaint he had filed with the magistrate at the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail on January 23, 2017. Kessler claimed James Justin Taylor had assaulted him on the Downtown Mall.

The prosecution said the incident was caught on camera, and that "the events described by the complaining witness [Kessler] in his criminal complaint did not happen."
