Section 784.7 Of Chapter 1. Of The Local Jurisdiction Of Public Offenses From California Penal Code >> Title 3. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1.
784.7
. (a) If more than one violation of Section 220, except
assault with intent to commit mayhem, 261, 262, 264.1, 269, 286, 288,
288a, 288.5, or 289 occurs in more than one jurisdictional
territory, the jurisdiction of any of those offenses, and for any
offenses properly joinable with that offense, is in any jurisdiction
where at least one of the offenses occurred, subject to a hearing,
pursuant to Section 954, within the jurisdiction of the proposed
trial. At the Section 954 hearing, the prosecution shall present
written evidence that all district attorneys in counties with
jurisdiction of the offenses agree to the venue. Charged offenses
from jurisdictions where there is no written agreement from the
district attorney shall be returned to that jurisdiction.
(b) If more than one violation of Section 273a, 273.5, or 646.9
occurs in more than one jurisdictional territory, and the defendant
and the victim are the same for all of the offenses, the jurisdiction
of any of those offenses and for any offenses properly joinable with
that offense, is in any jurisdiction where at least one of the
offenses occurred.
(c) If more than one violation of Section 236.1, 266h, or 266i
occurs in more than one jurisdictional territory, the jurisdiction of
any of those offenses, and for any offenses properly joinable with
that offense, is in any jurisdiction where at least one of the
offenses occurred, subject to a hearing pursuant to Section 954,
within the jurisdiction of the proposed trial. At the Section 954
hearing, the prosecution shall present written evidence that all
district attorneys in counties with jurisdiction of the offenses
agree to the venue. Charged offenses from jurisdictions where there
is no written agreement from the district attorney shall be returned
to that jurisdiction. In determining whether all counts in the
complaint should be joined in one county for prosecution, the court
shall consider the location and complexity of the likely evidence,
where the majority of the offenses occurred, the rights of the
defendant and the people, and the convenience of, or hardship to, the
victim or victims and witnesses.
