Answer to Question 1

Pretrial motions ask courts to decide questions that don't require a trial. Pretrial motions include issues related to double jeopardy, a speedy trial, and a change of venue. The Fifth Amendment protection against double jeopardy ensures the prosecution has one fair shot at convicting a defendant. The Constitution guarantees a speedy trial, so prosecution must begin promptly. The Constitution ensures that a change of venue occurs only at the defendant's request and only where great prejudice would otherwise exist.
