Grier v. State, 275 Ga. 430, 431(1), 569 S.E.2d 837 (2002). At the time this incident occurred, kidnapping was not a continuous offense and was consummated in the county where the victim was seized and asported to some degree.Martin v. State, 281 Ga.App. 64, 65–66(1), 635 S.E.2d 358 (2006). The General Assembly amended OCGA § 16–5–40 to include the following provision: "(f) The offense of kidnapping is declared to be a continuous offense, and venue may be in any county where the accused exercises dominion or control over the person of another."
See also OCGA § 24-4-8 ("The testimony of a single witness is generally sufficient to establish a fact."). See Burden, 290 Ga. App. at 735 (1) (a) (armed robbery); Waters v. State, 294 Ga. App. 442, 443-444 (1) ( 669 SE2d 450) (2008) (burglary); Martin v. State, 281 Ga. App. 64, 66 (2) ( 635 SE2d 358) (2006) (aggravated assault); Tenant v. State, 218 Ga. App. 620, 620-621 (1) ( 462 SE2d 783) (1995) (attempt to commit aggravated sodomy); Mobley v. State, 211 Ga. App. 709, 709-710 (1) ( 441 SE2d 73) (1994) (possession of a knife during the commission of a crime). (b) Next, Williams maintains that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for criminal attempt to commit aggravated sodomy because there was no evidence that he took a substantial step toward completing the crime.
OCGA § 17-2-1 (b) (1). Since the victim was abducted in Georgia, the kidnapping occurred within the state. See generally Martin v. State, 281 Ga. App. 64, 65 (1) ( 635 SE2d 358) (2006) (kidnapping "is consummated in the county where the victim was seized and asported to some degree"). When the victim was later injured in South Carolina, it was nevertheless a bodily injury for purposes of the Georgia kidnapping. For example, our Supreme Court affirmed a defendant's conviction for kidnapping with bodily injury where the victim was abducted in Georgia and later stabbed to death in Kentucky, but remanded the case for further proceedings on an unrelated issue in connection with the sentencing phase of the trial.
