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.)
