SB 6065: County coroners

Concerning county coroners.

Summary

  • Instead of being required to independently issue an arrest warrant for a person suspected of committing an offense, the coroner may request that the superior court in the county which convened the inquest also issue the arrest warrant. The warrant must be supported by sufficient admissible evidence to justify conviction by a reasonable and objective trier of fact.
