In State Court, civil cases are usually filed in the county where at least one of the parties involved resides. But, criminal cases
are not always filed in the county of residence of the person accused. Criminal law cases are usually filed and tried in the
county, in other words, in the venue, in which the criminal offense charged is alleged to have occured.
Sometimes, though, the prosecution does not know exactly
where the criminal offense was supposedly committed,
such as when near the county line or in a body of water.
Pursuant to Florida Statute and the Florida Constitution, in
cases like those, the person may be charged conjunctively
in two or more counties. Then, the person accused, after
selecting in which of those counties he or she wants the trial
to be held, would present their criminal defense in their
county of selection.

As you know, Casselberry is located in Seminole County, Florida.
So if a crime allegedly took place within the Casselberry city limits,
the state criminal case would usually be filed with the Court in
Seminole County. And naturally, the person accused would defend
against the allegations there, aided of course by his or her criminal
defense lawyer.
Even if the person accused actually resided in another county or
another state, this would likely be the case. So the Casselberry
residence of the person accused would not revelant to where the
criminal case would usually be filed.
This applies to juvenile delinquency or juvenile defense cases and
to adult felony and misdemeanor criminal cases.

charged with a criminal offense which was supposedly
committed in Orange and Seminole County, it would be
up to the accused to elect whether to go to trial in

The city of Casselberry is named after its founder, Hibbard Casselberry. Casselberry, who had a mechanical
engineering degree from Yale, came to Seminole County, where his mother had a winter home, in the 1920's.
Casselberry wanted to participate in the growth of the local fern industry and Casselberry originally purchased
some acreage near Lake Orienta. After selling that land, Casselberry purchased hundreds of acres in what is
today known as Casselberry and, in 1940, incorporated the area as the town of Casselberry.
Casselberry had a vision for the development of the town and, after the end of World War II, he began building
homes in Casselberry for the returning military and for others who came to Florida at the time. Consistent with
the vision he had for Casselberry, he started Casselberry's utility system and donated land for a city hall. And,
he established Casselberry's cemetery and formed a volunteer fire department which started out with a truck
donated by his mother.
The city of Casselberry was incorporated in 1965 and today, Casselberry has a population of over twenty four
thousand residents.
