Appellant argues that the transfer of venue from St. Louis County to Greene County denied appellant his right to the selection of a jury drawn from a fair cross section of the community. Appellant points to the fact that the 1990 U.S. Census shows that St. Louis County had a population that was fourteen percent African-American, but Greene County had a population that was only one and seven-tenths percent African-American. Appellant argues that this demographic disparity resulted in the underrepresentation of African-Americans on his jury venire. 1
