Practice question
A criminal action under Section 4 is filed in a designated court in the province where an element of the offense occurred. The accused argues that venue is necessarily improper because he resides elsewhere. What does Section 2.1 indicate?
- Residence elsewhere always defeats venue.
- Only the accused's workplace can supply venue.
- Only the place of arrest supplies venue.
- The parties must vote on venue.
- The location of an offense element is a recognized connection; the residence objection alone does not defeat it.
