Rule 20. Transfer from the county for plea and sentence

(a) Omitted.

(b) Pending Charge Within the Jurisdiction of the Justice of the Peace Court. A defendant, including a juvenile, arrested, held, or present, in a county other than the county in which a complaint is pending against that defendant may state in writing a wish to plead guilty or nolo contendere , to waive venue and trial in the county in which the warrant was issued, and to consent to disposition of the case in the county in which that defendant was arrested, held, or present, subject to the approval of the prosecuting agency. Upon filing the written waiver of venue in the county in which the defendant is present, the prosecution may proceed as if venue were in such county.

(c) Effect of not guilty plea. If after the proceeding has been transferred pursuant to subsection (b) of this rule the defendant, including a juvenile, pleads not guilty, the clerk of court shall return the papers to the county in which the prosecution was commenced, and the proceeding shall be restored to the docket of the Court in which it originated. The defendant's statement that the defendant wished to plead guilty or nolo contendere shall not be used against that defendant.
