NEW YORK — Suspected subway shooter Frank James says he can’t get a fair trial in New York City — so he’s trying to get his case moved to Chicago.
James’ lawyers are arguing that the nonstop media coverage of the crime and Mayor Eric Adams’ news conference where he repeatedly proclaimed “We got him” make it impossible for their client to find impartial jurors.
His federal defenders legal team has even conducted a phone poll — calling 400 eligible jurors in the Brooklyn federal court jurisdiction and another 400 in Chicago.
