People v. Horner

100 A.D.2d 747 Court N.Y. App. Div. Decision date 1984-03-06 English

Majority

p. 747
The People of the State of New York, Plaintiff, v Clara Horner, Defendant.

Motion to change venue of trial of indictment from Genesee County denied. Memorandum: We conclude that defendant has not on this application met her burden of demonstrating that there is “reasonable cause to believe that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had” in Genesee County (CPL 230.20, subd 2). If it develops during voir dire that a fair and impartial jury cannot be drawn, an appropriate application may then be made. The relief requested in the application before us now is premature. (See People v DiPiazza, 24 NY2d 342 ; People v Hatch, 46 AD2d 721 ; People v Sekou, 45 AD2d 982 , app dsmd 35 NY2d 844 .) Present — Dillon, P. J., Denman, Boomer, O’Donnell and Schnepp, JJ.
