Annotations
Two jury instructions read in conjunction with one another correctly instructed the jury that the offenses must have been "committed in this state." Taken as a whole, the instructions as to venue did not relieve the State of its burden to prove the acts were committed in Nebraska, and the defendant was not prejudiced as to necessitate a reversal on these grounds. State v. Lee, 304 Neb. 252, 934 N.W.2d 145 (2019).
Venue confirmed in county where auto trip originated and ended, during which sexual assault occurred. State v. Tiff, 199 Neb. 519, 260 N.W.2d 296 (1977).
