Abouammo v. United States · ¶14

As a result, the Constitution not once but “twice safeguards the defendant's venue right.” United States v. Ca brales, 524 U. S. 1, 6 (1998). Article III instructs that “Trial of all Crimes” shall “be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed.” § 2, cl. 3. And the Sixth Amendment reinforces that command, entitling criminal defendants to a jury “of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”
