What pretrial discovery rights does the prosecution have? In light of the government?s power to charge a person with a crime, which could lead to the loss of property, liberty, or even life as a consequence,
is it fair to make the defense discover anything to the prosecution?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Good answers should describe the basic discovery rules that apply to the prosecution and the purpose behind discovery. Then students should identify and discuss the limited reciprocal obligations of the defense and the triggering circumstances of the defense obligation. Students should address the limitations on prosecution discovery designed to avoid compelling the defense from supplying inculpatory evidence. Positions on the second part of the question should be supported by the stated purposes of discovery.
