Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of: Motion to Invoke the Rule Prior to Voir Dire and to Enjoin the District Attorney from Adivising Witnesses of Previous Testimony. A Nevada Motion to Invoke the Rule Prior to Void Dire and To Enjoin the District Attorney From Advising Witnesses of Previous Testimony is a legal request made by the defense in a criminal trial. This motion is typically filed to safeguard the impartiality and fairness of the trial proceedings. Void dire is the process in which potential jurors are questioned to determine their suitability for the case. The defense may file this motion to invoke a rule that restricts the district attorney from informing potential witnesses about any prior testimony given in the case. This is done to ensure that the witnesses' statements are not influenced or tainted by the prior testimony. In Nevada, there are various types of motions that can be filed under this category: 1. Motion to Invoke the Rule Prior to Void Dire: This motion requests the court to impose the rule that prohibits the district attorney from discussing or revealing any prior testimony to potential witnesses during the void dire process. The defense argues that this will help maintain the fairness and integrity of the trial by ensuring that witnesses' statements are based solely on their own recollection and not influenced by testimonies delivered earlier. 2. Motion to Enjoin the District Attorney from Advising Witnesses of Previous Testimony: This motion seeks a court order to prevent the district attorney from informing witnesses about their prior testimony before they are called to testify. The defense argues that informing witnesses about their prior statements may lead to inconsistency or alteration of their testimony, therefore jeopardizing the fairness of the trial. 3. Motion to Suppress Prior Testimony: In some cases, the defense may file a motion to suppress prior testimony altogether. This motion requests the court to exclude any previously obtained or presented testimonies from being presented again during trial. The defense may argue that these testimonies are unreliable, inaccurate, or unduly prejudicial. By filing these motions, the defense aims to protect the rights of their client and promote a fair trial by ensuring that the witnesses' statements are not tainted or influenced by any prior testimony. These motions serve to maintain the integrity of the jury selection process and allow witnesses to give their unbiased and unaltered testimony.
