Section 15-2-4 Venue - Offense Commenced Outside State and Consummated Within State
Official statutory text
When the commission of an offense commenced elsewhere is consummated within the boundaries of the State of Alabama, the offender is liable to punishment in Alabama, although he was out of the state at the commission of the offense charged, if he consummated it in this state through the intervention of an innocent or guilty agent or by any other means proceeding directly from himself; and venue in such case is in the county in which the offense was consummated, unless otherwise provided by law.
