1. “The policy behind the creation of the Office of Statewide Prosecution — demands that we broadly construe the prosecutorial authority of the statewide prosecutor. Here, it was alleged generally in the information that although the charged offenses were themselves committed in Orange County, that they “occurred in two or more judicial circuits ... as part of a related transaction.” Proof was submitted to the trial judge which convinced him of the truth of this allegation. We believe that the constitutional provision, further developed in the statute, contemplates that even a local offense committed as a part of a multi-district criminal activity, because of this relation, “legally occurred” in two or more judicial districts.”
