Miss. R. Crim. P. 11.2
Transfer to Another County
(a) Proceedings on Transfer. If a change of venue is granted pursuant to Rule
11.1, the judge shall direct that a certified copy of the order granting the change
of venue be transmitted to the circuit clerk of the county to which the venue has
been changed. The circuit clerk of the county to which the venue has been
changed must file the certified order and designate a docket number for said
case for future reference. Unless otherwise directed by the judge, all pleadings,
motions, orders of the court, and other matters thereafter filed shall bear both the
original number of the county of original venue and the assigned number of the
county of changed venue, and shall be filed with the circuit clerk of the county
of original venue. The judge may hear or determine all pretrial and post-trial
matters in the county to which venue has been changed or in any county of the
judge’s district.
(b) Place of Trial. In all cases in which venue has been changed, it shall be
within the judge’s discretion, after the jury has been selected, to conduct the trial
in the county of original venue or in the county to which venue has been
transferred.
(c) Costs. All costs of a trial transferred from one county to another county,
including the cost of transporting the jury from one county to another where the
same is ordered, shall be borne by the county of original venue. The clerk of the
county of original venue shall handle any appeal.
