How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that venue is a jurisdictional element of every crime that the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt
  • explaining that even though the jurors, judge, counsel, and parties all may have known from their daily lives that the part of Vidalia in question was in Toombs County, venue in that county was not properly proved where that fact was not established by the trial record
  • a habeas appeal where the warden’s argument based on OCGA § 17-2-2 (e) was waived because it was neither raised in a jury charge at trial nor argued by the warden before the habeas court
  • statute inapplicable since location of crime could be ascertained
