Pennsylvania Code (Last Updated: April 5, 2016)

Section 244. Venue

Latest version.

Any presentment by a statewide or regional investigating grand jury shall be returned to the supervising judge who shall, by order, designate the county for filing the presentment and for further proceedings.

Comment

Although venue ordinarily lies in a county where the offense is alleged to have occurred, there are several variations on this principle. See Commonwealth v. Simeone, 294 A.2d 921 (Pa. Super. 1972); Commonwealth v. Marino, 245 A.2d 868 (Pa. Super. 1968); aff’d., 253 A.2d 911, cert. denied, 395 U. S. 983 (1969).

Official Note
Rule 274 adopted July 1, 1980, effective August 1, 1980; renumbered Rule 244 and Comment revised March 1, 2000, effective April 1, 2001.
