Sec. 92.50  Use of depositions in court actions.

    Generally depositions may be taken and used in all civil actions or 
suits. In criminal cases in the United States, a deposition cannot be 
used, unless a statute has been enacted which permits a defendant in a 
criminal case to have a deposition taken in his own behalf, or unless 
the defendant consents to the taking of a deposition by the State for 
use by the prosecution. (For exception in connection with the proving of 
foreign documents for use in criminal actions, see Sec. 92.65.)
