People v. Cahill , 692 N.Y.S.2d 622 ( 1999 )

—Motion for change of venue 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 Onondaga County (CPL 230.20 [2]). If it develops during voir dire that a fair and impartial jury cannot be drawn, an appropriate motion may then be made. The relief requested in the motion before us now is premature (see, People v Mateo, 239 AD2d 965; see generally, People v DiPiazza, 24 NY2d 342). Present — Green, J. P., Pine, Wisner, Pigott, Jr., and Callahan, JJ.
