Notes of Decisions
When an indictment charges that a criminal agreement was made in a certain county, a conviction cannot rest on proof that the agreement was made in a different county and only subsequent acts in pursuance of the agreement occurred in the county where the making of the agreement is alleged. State v. Roper, 286 Or 621, 595 P2d 1247 (1979)
Where defendant escaped from confinement in work camp located in Tillamook County, venue was proper only in that county and prosecuting defendant in Marion County, where he had been confined prior to transfer, was improper. State v. Dillenburg, 49 Or App 911, 621 P2d 1193 (1980)
Where traffic offense of DUII was prosecuted as misdemeanor for conviction of same offense within 5 years, thus creating a criminal prosecution, defendant had absolute right under Oregon Constitution Article I, Section 11 to change of venue to county where offense was committed. State v. Camp, 53 Or App 599, 633 P2d 12 (1981)
Place of trial is established by statute and objections to place of trial are waived unless raised in trial court. State v. Jasper, 89 Or App 572, 750 P2d 498 (1988)
