The Brianna Denison case gained national attention last January and has continued off and on throughout the year. The only news bigger than her murder, would be the capture of a suspect.

"Any time you have a high profile case, you have a large number of people who have formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of an individual without having seen the evidence, having seen the evidence tested."

Scott Freeman is an experienced defense attorney whose most recent case with Darren Mack gained international attention.

" For there to be a conviction, if that's what the public outcry is, everything has to be fair. Before you can send someone to prison for the rest of their life, before you can kill them with the death penalty, it has to be a fair trial."

David Houston and Scott Freeman have had their share of high profile clients involved in sensational cases. The Biela case involves the murder of a 19 year old girl that caught national attention. There are several issues the defense could pursue the two say to help get their client a fair trial, like change of venue, but under Nevada law, that venue change wont be easy.

"Even in this case, certainly is what you have, can that defendant get a fair trial, has the public been so tainted or provided information that they form an opinion to where the public, the person who might be on that jury, steps forwards and says I don't think I can be fair. When you get a majority of people say that, then the courts have to grant you that change of venue." says David Houston.

Another strategy might be to work with the prosecution if the defendant decides to do that to get a less severe sentence. That too needs to be weighed the two say--depending upon how strong the prosecution's case is there may be no deals in the offing.

"The prosecutor has the same authority to say no negotiations. I make the judgement call, leave that in front of the jury. The jury can make the decision. I'm not making any deals." Freeman says.
