The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. David Harold Shackley, Defendant-Appellee

Summary

The court held that venue for the charge of voting twice was proper in Arapahoe County because the defendant's first vote there was an act in furtherance of the offense. Although Adams County was also a proper venue because the second vote occurred there, the trial court lacked discretion to transfer the case absent an independent statutory or rule-based ground for changing venue. The court reversed and remanded with directions to return the case to Arapahoe County.
