A judge has moved the trial of one of the accused snipers out of the Washington DC area. Why? Because, the judge claims, a potential jury should not be made up of people who experienced fear at the hands of the sniper. The premise of the judge's decision is insulting and inaccurate. She assumes that emotion and reason are incompatible: that merely because one experiences emotion about something, rational judgment is no longer possible. People who live in the Washington area are assumed to be incapable of determining what is just precisely because they were the targets of the accused killer. They supposedly have been so traumatized that they can no longer think. Justice has nothing to fear from fear -- particularly when the fear is overwhelmingly based on fact.
