§ 190.52 Grand jury; attorney for witness.

1. Any person who appears as a witness and has signed a waiver of

immunity in a grand jury proceeding, has a right to an attorney as

provided in this section. Such a witness may appear with a retained

attorney, or if he is financially unable to obtain counsel, an attorney

who shall be assigned by the superior court which impaneled the grand

jury. Such assigned attorney shall be assigned pursuant to the same

plan and in the same manner as counsel are provided to persons charged

with crime pursuant to section seven hundred twenty-two of the county

law.

2. The attorney for such witness may be present with the witness in

the grand jury room. The attorney may advise the witness, but may not

otherwise take any part in the proceeding.

3. The superior court which impaneled the grand jury shall have the

same power to remove an attorney from the grand jury room as such court

has with respect to an attorney in a courtroom.
