Indictment No. 13-76
| THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
V DANTE TAYLOR, DEFENDANT. |
Defendant having moved pursuant to CPL 230.20 for a change of venue from Wayne County Court for the prosecution of indictment number 13-76,
Now, upon reading and filing the affirmation of Joseph S. Damelio, Esq. dated August 21, 2014, and the affirmation of Christopher Bokelman, Esq. dated August 26, 2014, and due deliberation having been had thereon,
It is hereby ORDERED that the motion is denied.
Memorandum: We conclude that defendant has not met his burden of demonstrating that there is "reasonable cause to believe that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had" in Wayne County (CPL 230.20[2]). If it develops during the voir dire that a fair and impartial jury cannot be drawn, an appropriate motion may then be made. The relief requested in the motion is premature (People v Mateo, 239 AD2d 965).
