Pleadings And Proceedings Before Trial — California Penal Code — Formation Of The Trial Jury And The Calendar Of Issues For Trial — Continuance after testimony of defense witness

Current through the 2016 Legislative Session

Upon a trial for any offense, if a defense witness testifies, there shall be good cause for a reasonable continuance unless the court finds that the prosecutor was or should, with due diligence, have been aware of such evidence. If the continuance is granted because of the defendant's testimony, it shall not exceed one day.
