People v. Scott , 604 N.Y.S.2d 843 ( 1993 )

Motion for change of venue denied. Memorandum: We conclude that defendant has not on this application met his burden of demonstrating that there is "reasonable cause to believe that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had” in Onondaga County (CPL 230.20 [2]). If it develops during the voir dire that a fair and impartial jury cannot be drawn, an appropriate application may then be made. The relief requested in the application before us now is premature (see, People v Scott, 193 AD2d 1145; see also, People v DiPiazza, 24 NY2d 342; People v Jacobsen, 170 AD2d 1043). Present—Den-man, P. J., Green, Balio, Fallon and Boehm, JJ. (Filed Sept. 2, 1993.)
