Venue and principal accessary questions in criminal law
The excerpt argues that crimes are local to the place of the offense and that venue should be in the district where the act occurred. It questions whether an agent’s actions can place a non present principal within the statute, discusses common law authorities on accessaries and principals, and cites Hale Hawkins and other authorities to support that guilt or trial venue must reflect where the crime happened.
