Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

The reason that I rejected this question, (YES, IT WAS ME!) was because you did not provide enough information. You still have not provided enough information, and just restated your question. (Which is incredibly annoying, and makes me not want to help you at all.)

If it is a death penalty case, the trial has to be conducted on the record with a court reporter present. (Pen. Code, sect. 190.9.) In a regular felony, non death penalty case, a court reporter must only be presnt and dake down testimony on the order of the court, or at the request of the prosecution, the defendant, or the attorney for the defendant. (Code of Civ. Proc., sect. 269.) A court reporter must be present whenever a criminal case is being investigated by a grand jury. (Pen. Code, sect. 938.)

A judge may have an official reporter or official pro tempore take down in shorthand and transcribe �any opinion given or rendered by the judge in the trial of a felony case" (Code of Civ. Proc., � 274a.)

A reporter shall be present at the in camera hearing when a party demands the disclosure of the identity of the information in a criminal proceeding on the grounds that the informant is a material witness on the issue of guilt. (Evid. Code, � 1042 subd. (d).)

A court reporter shall be present during a closed criminal proceeding pertaining to a motion to prohibit disclosure of a trade secret. (Evid. Code, � 1062.)

There are many sections, depending on what it is you are specifically seeking and trying to do. WHICH AGAIN, YOU DON'T TELL US. There are also special rules governing the court reporter's preparation of a transcript on appeal, but again, you don't tell us.

Keep up with your annoying lack of communication, and see where it gets you in life.
