d. is requested by your lawyers if they feel that it is impossible for you as a defendant to get a fair trial due to media coverage

Change of venue is a request to ensure a fair and speedy trial with an unbiased jury of your peers and guaranteed by the Constitution.

Due to the rise of mass media, a change of venue request occurs more often in the modern era than before. If a defendant's case has been compromised due to media coverage of an event or an unfair bias is presented, their lawyer can request a change of venue. The judge is then responsible for reviewing the request and determining if the change of venue should be granted.
