Disclosure of Evidence

Before the trial, the prosecuting attorney must disclose all the evidence held against you. This means that you will receive a copy of the following elements from the police investigation:

• witness statements;
• police reports;
• photos;
• video or audio recordings.

The prosecuting attorney must also disclose all the other evidence gathered that will not be used at trial, regardless of whether it tends to show your guilt or your innocence.

In general, the evidence is disclosed at your first appearance, but it may be disclosed before or after you appear.
