RES wants trial moved...that's curious?

Attorneys for RES want the trail moved outside of Carthage. Isn't that just a little curious. They maintain that RES doesn't stink, but yet they don't want to take a chance that the City of Carthage stinks during the trial. Obviously they are afraid of "the evidence".

The Joplin Globe reported, 02/18/2009, Attorneys for RES, residents argue change-of-venue motion. "Factors ranging from recent publicity to Internet postings to a new Carthage odor ordinance make it impossible for Renewable Environmental Solutions to get a fair trial in Jasper County, an attorney for the company argued Wednesday. Stan Sexton, representing the Carthage biofuels company, argued that a court in some other county should hear the lawsuit filed by a Carthage resident who contends that odors from the plant make it a nuisance, and that she and others are entitled to damages as a result."

What do you think? Since RES claims that they don't stink, why not hold the trial at the Carthage Court House, downwind from the plant?
