United States v. McCulley, 673 F.2d 346 (11th Cir. 1982).

Cited 2 times | Published | Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit | 1982 U.S. App. LEXIS 20046

...It is precisely this sort of situation that 18 U.S.C. § 3237 was meant to deal with. It is a catchall provision designed to prevent a crime which has been committed in transit from escaping punishment for lack of venue. 1 See analogously, Fla.Stat.Ann. § 910.02; Ga....

Martin v. State, 488 So. 2d 653 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1986).

Published | District Court of Appeal of Florida | 11 Fla. L. Weekly 1146, 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 7854

...seeking to prohibit the lower court from proceeding to trial in Duval County. He argues that once venue is alleged in an indictment conjunctively (in more than one county), his right to be tried in the county of his choice is guaranteed by Sections 910.02 and 910.03, Florida Statutes, and by Article I, Section 16 of the Florida Constitution....
...The trial court issued an order denying the motion for change of venue, and Martin thereupon filed the instant petitions in this court. While conceding that Section 910.-05, Florida Statutes, gives the state the right to file an indictment in Duval County, petitioner argues that Sections 910.02 and 910.03, Florida Statutes, and Article I, Section 16 of the Florida Constitution require a defendant to be given the right to elect venue upon its being alleged conjunctively in an indictment....
...Neither is common law certiorari the proper remedy, as the petitioner has failed to demonstrate “a violation of a clearly established principle of law resulting in a miscarriage of justice.” Combs v. State, 436 So.2d 93, 96 (Fla.1983). The petitioner’s reliance on sections 910.02 and 910.03 and on Article I, Section 16 of the Florida Constitution is misplaced....

...For the same reasons, we reject the State’s arguments on the merits. The State is correct that where a person commits a crime in more than one county, a trial may be held in any county in which the crime occurred. See §§ 910.05 & 910.06, Fla. Stat. (2007); see also § 910.02 (providing that when an offense is committed while in transit and it is not known in which county the offense is committed, “the accused may be tried in any county through which the ......
