19-824 — CONDITIONAL EXAMINATION


                                  TITLE  19
                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 8
                      EXAMINATION OF CASE AND DISCHARGE
                           OR COMMITMENT OF ACCUSED
    19-824.  CONDITIONAL EXAMINATION. When, however, it satisfactorily appears
by examination on oath of the witness, or any other person, that the witness
is unable to procure sureties, he may be forthwith conditionally examined on
behalf of the people. Such examination must be by question and answer in the
presence of the defendant, or after notice to him, if on bail, and conducted
in the same manner as the examination before a committing magistrate is
required by this chapter to be conducted, and the witness thereupon be
discharged; but this section does not apply to an accomplice in the commission
of the offense charged.
