FAQ

A Brady motion is a defendant's request that the prosecution turn over any potentially “exculpatory” evidence or evidence that may be favorable to the accused in a California criminal case.

The discovery process starts soon after criminal charges are instituted. Once your plea is filed following your arraignment, you can file a Notice of Discovery along with a Demand for Jury Trial. Your discovery notice triggers the prosecutor's duty to give you all evidence they've collected against you.

The Benefits of Discovery for Both Plaintiffs and Defendants Helps plaintiffs and defendants understand the legal issues at play in the case and better prepare for trial. During discovery, each party can obtain facts from the other through requests for admission, interrogatories, documents, depositions, and more.

Florida Discovery Rules Unlike most civil cases, a criminal case is a more one sided affair. Under the rules, once charges have formally been filed, the State has a period of fifteen days to turn over their initial discovery submission. This submission is required to disclose several pieces of discovery.
