Establishes the venue for trials of certain criminal offenses based on the victim's residence or the charged person's residence.
This bill amends the Code to specify the venue for trials of certain criminal offenses. If the county where the offense was committed cannot be determined, the trial will be held in the county of residence of the victim, with priority given to natural persons. If there is no victim, the victim is not a resident, or the victim's residence cannot be established, the trial will be held in the county of residence of the person charged. For non-natural person victims, the trial can be held in any county where the victim has a physical presence.
