What are the Fifth Amendment issues regarding defense reciprocal discovery obligations?
What will be an ideal response?
Good answers should discuss that the Fifth Amendment is not violated when the defense is forced to provide the prosecution, in advance of trial, any of the following: (1 ) an alibi or other affirmative defense that will be raised at trial; (2 ) notice of witnesses who are to testify, including their statements; or (3 ) real or documentary evidence concerning the crime in question. But there is a Fifth Amendment violation when the defense is compelled to (1 ) notify the prosecution as to whether the defendant intends to
testify; (2 ) identify witnesses who will not testify at trial; or (3 ) disclose evidence that will not be introduced at trial.
