California Court of Appeal

Ventura County is a proper venue for the defendant-accomplice's prosecution, and conviction of selling heroin and possessing the drug for sale is affirmed, where a police informant in Ventura County negotiated by phone with a drug dealer in Los Angeles County for the purchase of heroin, and the drugs are delivered in Los Angeles County by an accomplice who did not take part in the phone negotiations, and this constitutes some evidence sufficient to support the finding that preparatory acts or effects requisite to commission of defendant's crimes took place in Ventura County.
