This bill establishes the place of trial for certain criminal offenses when the county of commission is undeterminable.
This bill amends the Code to specify the location for criminal trials when the county where the offense was committed is unclear. If the county cannot be determined, the trial will be held in the county where the victim resides, prioritizing the county of a natural person victim. If there is no victim, or if the victim is not a resident or their residence cannot be established, the trial will be held in the county where the accused resides. For non-natural person victims, the trial can occur in any county where the victim has a physical presence.
