Opinion
January 24, 1980
Motion for change of venue denied. Memorandum: We conclude that defendant has not on this application met her 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, subd 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 Di Piazza, 24 N.Y.2d 342; People v Hatch, 46 A.D.2d 721; People v Sekou, 45 A.D.2d 982, app dsmd 35 N.Y.2d 844.) (Order entered Jan. 18, 1980.)
