State v. Seekford

638 P.2d 525 (Utah 1981)

Facts

Seekford (D) rented a car in Utah and traveled to Texas with the Revoirs. One of the friends told D that he should return the car. D said that he could handle it because he had friends that could make license plates. The car was recovered several months later. D was tried for theft in Utah and convicted. D appealed; Utah lacked jurisdiction because the theft occurred outside of Utah.
