OAR 255-032-0029: Subpoenas for a Murder Review Hearing

(1) Inmates must make their own arrangements for calling and presenting witnesses. However, upon the request of an inmate, and upon a proper showing of general relevance and reasonable scope of the evidence being sought, the Board may issue subpoenas on behalf of the inmate. (2) Witnesses are not required to appear in person unless good cause can be shown why an in-person appearance is necessary. Witnesses may participate via teleconference. (3) Witnesses appearing pursuant to subpoena, other than inmates, state officers, or employees of the Board, must receive fees and mileage payable by the Board as prescribed by law for witnesses in ORS 44.415(2), provided the Board certifies that the witness's testimony was relevant and material to the hearing.
