N.Y. County Law § 706: Cost and expense of removed criminal trials

§ 706. Cost and expense of removed criminal trials. Whenever the trial

of an indictment has been transferred from the county in which the

indictment was found to some other county, the cost and expense of such

trial shall be a charge upon the county in which the indictment was

found. Whenever under the order of any court of competent jurisdiction,

the pleadings and issue in any prosecution for any crime or misdemeanor,

for which no indictment has been found, shall have been removed to any

other county in this state for trial therein, in consequence of any

inability to obtain an unprejudiced or impartial jury in the county in

which the venue was originally laid, the expenses of the trial of said

prosecution shall be a charge upon the county from which the same was

transferred. The cost and expense of trial of any prosecution, as shown

by the certificate of the presiding judge or justice, shall be paid by

the county from which the transfer of trial was made to the county

treasurer of the county in which the trial was had.
