DELEGATE MARION: Either to the State or the

2

Defendant an automatic right of removal from the county

3

in which the. prosecution is brought.

4

THE CHAIRMAN: I am not sure I understand what

5

you mean by "automatic right of removal." You mean

6

an absolute right, not a matter of privilege?

7

DELEGATE MARION: Yes.

8

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kiefer.

9

DELEGATE KIEFER: Yes. This already exists now.

10

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd, can you recall,

11

I have a hazy recollection that there was some provision

12

in the judicial article that a defendant was entitled

13

to be tried in the county where the offense was committed.

14

I may be wrong about it.

15

DELEGATE MUDD: I don't recollect any. I

16

will check.

17

THE CHAIRMAN: Very well.

18

Delegate Mason.

19

DELEGATE MASON: I have a question for Delegate

20

Kiefer.

THE CHAIRMAN: State the question.
