Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 10 Criminal Procedure - Section 10.95.200 Proceedings for failure to execute on day named

§ 10.95.200. Proceedings for failure to execute on day named

Whenever the day appointed for the execution of a defendant shall have passed, from any cause, other than the issuance of a stay by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the execution of such defendant having occurred, the trial court which issued the original death warrant shall issue a new death warrant in accordance with RCW 10.95.160. The defendant's presence before the court is not required. However, nothing in this section shall be construed as restricting the defendant's right to be represented by counsel in connection with issuance of a new death warrant.
