����� 136.515 Order when evidence shows guilt; new accusatory instrument. If, from the evidence given on the trial, there is reasonable ground to believe the defendant guilty and a new accusatory instrument can be framed upon which the defendant may be convicted, the court shall order the defendant to be recommitted to custody or released and to answer the new accusatory instrument, if one is found; and if the evidence shows the defendant to be guilty of another offense than that charged in the accusatory instrument, the defendant shall in like manner be committed or held thereon. In neither case is the verdict a bar to another action for the same crime. [Formerly 136.830]

����� 136.525 Order when evidence is insufficient; acquittal. If the evidence appears insufficient to charge the defendant with any offense, the defendant shall, if in custody, be discharged or, if the defendant has been released or deposited money in lieu thereof, the release agreement of the defendant is exonerated or the money of the defendant shall be refunded to the defendant; and in such case, the arrest of judgment operates as an acquittal of the charge upon which the accusatory instrument was founded.

����� 136.567 Issuance of subpoena for witnesses for defendant; bar to dismissal. (1) A defendant in a criminal action is entitled, at the expense of the state or city, to have subpoenas issued for not to exceed 10 witnesses within the state. A defendant is entitled, at the expense of the defendant, to have subpoenas issued for any number of additional witnesses without an order of the court. The defendant is responsible for the costs of serving the subpoenas and for the costs, as provided in ORS 136.602, of witness per diem and mileage and for expenses allowed under ORS 136.603.
����� (2) Any subpoena that a defendant in a criminal action is entitled to have issued shall be issued:

����� (b) By an attorney of record of the defendant, and subscribed by the attorney.
����� (3) A prosecution for violation of ORS 813.010 may not be dismissed based solely on the unavailability of a witness who was subpoenaed by the defendant to provide testimony with respect to an instrument that was used to test a person�s breath, blood or urine to determine the alcoholic content of the person�s blood.

The statement or affidavit shall state the names of such witnesses, their places of residence and the facts expected to be proved by each of them. The court or judge thereof shall make an order allowing the issuance of subpoenas for so many of such witnesses as appear from such statement or affidavit to be necessary and material to a fair, full and impartial trial.
