Blackwater Guards Charged With Manslaughter in Iraq Deaths

From the NYTimes 8 Dec. 2008: 
"Mark Hulkower, a lawyer for one of the defendants, said the men surrendered in Utah, a relatively conservative, pro-military area, because they hoped to find a jury pool where “people are more sympathetic to the experiences of coming under enemy fire.”"

... because Utah has a history of being attacked??
Is this a sly reference to government intrusion of polygamous Mormon communities?
