That's the question attorneys discussed in court as they get closer to trying the man charged with 5 counts of capital murder.
Luong is the man police say tossed his four young children off the Dauphin Island Bridge in January 2008.
It took search crews two weeks to pull all four bodies from the water.
Ryan, Hannah, Lindsey and Danny were all laid to rest together in Bayou La Batre.
Police say Luong originally confessed to the crime and later pleaded not guilty in court.
Luong's trial date is set for March 9, 2009.
The question now is... where will the trial be held?
The defense wants to put their finger on the pulse in Mobile County and would like to conduct a phone survey to determine how much people know or remember about the case.
A research expert named Dr. Verne Kennedy was brought to court on Wednesday. He submitted a rough draft on the survey.
350 random calls could be made to potential jurors in Mobile County.
Here are some sample questions.
1. Have you heard, read or seen anything about the Lam Luong case?
2. Have you talked to family members about the Lam Luong case?
3. Is it your personal and private opinion that Lam Luong is guilty or not guilty?
Another draft on the survey is expected to be submitted next week.
Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson believes the case can be tried here. "We have had a number of high profile cases tried in Mobile County and those cases have withstood appellate court scrutiny. So yes, I think it's possible."
Wherever the trial will be held, it's expected to last up the 3 weeks.
Judge Charles Graddick also decided that the jury would be sequestered during that time.

Evertime I read about this I think of those precioius children. They did not deserve what happened to them. I personally think that they should hang him to the side of the Dauphin Island Bridge and have the trial there or maybe we will get lucky and they will put him in the general population in the jail house and someone else will take care of him and then our tax dollars do not have to feed this monster anymore!!!!!
