Juv.R. 11(B) and (C). Transfer of Venue. As the alleged theft of a motor vehicle offense occurred in Warren County and harmed Warren County residents, the witnesses the state expected to call at the adjudicatory hearing lived and worked in Warren County, and the juvenile was expected to participate in the proceedings via video conferencing from a treatment facility in eastern Ohio, the Warren County Juvenile Court did not err in determining that the interests of the justice and the convenience of the parties required the delinquency adjudication to occur in Warren County. Trial court did not err in denying juvenile's request to transfer venue to Butler County Juvenile Court.
