910.005 State criminal jurisdiction.
(1) A person is subject to prosecution in this state for an offense that she or he commits, while either within or outside the state, by her or his own conduct or that of another for which the person is legally accountable, if:
(a) The offense is committed wholly or partly within the state;
(b) The conduct outside the state constitutes an attempt to commit an offense within the state;
(c) The conduct outside the state constitutes a conspiracy to commit an offense within the state, and an act in furtherance of the conspiracy occurs in the state;
(d) The conduct within the state constitutes an attempt or conspiracy to commit in another jurisdiction an offense under the laws of both this state and the other jurisdiction; or
(e) The conduct constitutes a knowing violation of s. 286.011.
(2) An offense is committed partly within this state if either the conduct that is an element of the offense or the result that is an element, occurs within the state. In homicide, the “result” is either the physical contact that causes death, or the death itself; and if the body of a homicide victim is found within the state, the death is presumed to have occurred within the state.
(3) An offense that is based on an omission to perform a duty imposed by the law of this state is committed within the state, regardless of the location of the offender at the time of the omission.

...ly struck in the State of Alabama. The state, however, contends that if an offense is commenced in Florida and consummated outside the state, Florida retains jurisdiction to try this defendant for first-degree murder under the provisions of sections 910.005 and 910.01, Florida Statutes (1977). We find the legislature of the State of Florida by the provisions of section 910.005(2) grants Florida jurisdiction to try this appellant for first-degree murder....

By section 910.005, we have broadened our jurisdiction to allow the trial of the homicide offense when the death occurs in the state or when an essential element of the homicide occurs in Florida even though the fatal blow was struck outside the state. The applicable provisions of section 910.005 provide: (1) A person is subject to prosecution in this state for an offense that he commits, while either within or outside the state, by his own conduct or that of another for which he is legally accountable, if: (a) The offense is committed wholly or partly within the state; ........

...When the plane landed, Sanders was arrested by the Broward County Sheriffs Office and later charged by the state with grand theft in excess of $300. Sanders filed a motion to dismiss the charge for lack of jurisdiction. Sanders argued that pursuant to section 910.005, Florida Statutes (2008), Florida did not have jurisdiction over her for the alleged theft because all of the elements of the theft occurred before the plane reached Florida....

Stat. (2008). Sanders contends that the alleged grand theft does not fall under either paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection 910.005(1)....
...This means that the theft was fully executed before the plane reached Florida. 1 Sanders could not be “endeavoring] to obtain” the victim’s property because she already had done so.
