                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 30
                      WITNESSES IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
    19-3015.  COURT ORDER. If at the hearing the judge determines (1) that the
witness may be material and necessary, (2) that his attending and testifying
are not adverse to the interests of this state or to the health or legal
rights of the witness, (3) that the laws of the state in which he is requested
to testify will give him protection from arrest and the service of civil and
criminal process because of any act committed prior to his arrival in the
state under the order, and (4) that as a practical matter the possibility is
negligible that the witness may be subject to arrest or to the service of
civil or criminal process in any state through which he will be required to
pass, the judge shall issue an order, with a copy of the certificate attached,
(a) directing the witness to attend and testify, (b) directing the person
having custody of the witness to produce him, in the court where the criminal
action is pending, or where the grand jury investigation is pending, at a time
and place specified in the order, and (c) prescribing such conditions as the
judge shall determine.
