Jake would prefer the trial continue in Ford County for a number of reasons. He is more confident of Carl Lee's safety by remaining in the jail with Ozzie in control. Jake is also more comfortable living close by, as the courthouse is across the street from his office. Finally, he relishes the more intense publicity he receives in Clanton.
