Article 660: Securing Testimony For Use In a Subsequent Proceeding--examination of Witnesses Conditionally

Rule Text

§ 660.20 Examination of witnesses conditionally; grounds for order.

An order directing examination of a witness conditionally must be based upon the ground that there is reasonable cause to believe that such witness:

1. Possesses information material to the criminal action or proceeding in issue; and

2. Will not be amenable or responsive to legal process or available as a witness at a time when his testimony will be sought, either because he is:

(a) About to leave the state and not return for a substantial period of time; or

(b) Physically ill or incapacited.
