HAMMOND v. STATE

34748.

88 Ga. App. 804 (1953)

77 S.E.2d 836

HAMMOND v. THE STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided September 24, 1953.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul K. Plunkett, H. A. Woodward, for plaintiff in error.

George Hains, Solicitor-General, contra.

TOWNSEND, J.

While, in the absence of evidence sufficient to raise an inference to the contrary, slight proof that the venue of the crime is properly laid is sufficient, nevertheless, venue is a fact essential to the jurisdiction of the court and must be proved by evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt.
