Publisher Description
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-1823(1) (Cum. Supp. 2004) authorizes a district court in a criminal proceeding, when it appears the defendant may be mentally incompetent to stand trial, to order a mental examination of the accused at county expense. The question presented in this appeal is whether, if the examination is performed by a state hospital, the cost of the examination can be billed directly to the county or whether the claim must first be submitted to the district court for certification to the county board.
