The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is the well-settled law in this State that the jurisdiction of the district court is limited to offenses committed within the county in which the court is held. Section 13449, Code 1935 [Now section 753.2, Code, 1971]. This statute provides that: ‘The local jurisdiction of the district court is of offenses committed within the county in which it is held.’ “Under this statute a conviction cannot be sustained unless the State proves that the crime was committed within the county in which the indictment was returned. * * See also State v. Hackett, 197 N.W.2d 569, 570-571 (Iowa 1972).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Although the burden of proof is to convince beyond a reasonable doubt, the State can generate a jury question on the issue of venue by producing evidence which is either direct or circumstantial from which it may be inferred. No positive testimony that the violation occurred at a specific place is required, it is sufficient if it can be concluded from the evidence as a whole that the act was committed in the county where the indictment is found. Circumstantial. evidence may be and often is stronger and more convincing than direct evidence. “ ‘ * * * If, from the facts and evidence, the only rational conclusion which can be drawn is that the crime was committed in the state and county alleged, the proof is sufficient. * * *.’ 30 Am. Jur.2d, Evidence, section 1131.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Dahlstrom““Venue is a jurisdictional fact put in issue by a plea of not guilty which the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt as a vital ingredient of any prosecution. In order to secure a conviction in a criminal prosecution it is necessary to show not only that the act denounced as a crime has been committed but that it has been committed within the territorial jurisdiction of the court in which the criminal charge is filed. * * * [citing authority].””
