criminal law questions and answersI need a criminal law question answered?

It's about discovery
Ask your question and we'll do the best we can to answer it.
and the question is?
you have not asked a proper question
Pre Patriotism Act law says that any evidence given in a court shall be provided to the defense.
You can look that stuff up,
it is called MOTION FOR DISCOVERY OF MATERIALS
RELATED TO SELECTIVE PROSECUTION

or:
COMES NOW Defendant Adams, pro se, with stand-by counsel, to Move this Court For an Order Compelling Disclosure of documents within the possession, custody, or control of the government, and which are material to the defendant's defense. RULE 16(a)(1)(C) Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(a)(1)(C):

(a) criminal law questions and answersGovernment disclosure of evidence.
(1) Information subject to disclosure.
(C) Documents and Tangible Objects. Upon request of the defendant the government shall permit the defendant to inspect and copy or photograph books, papers, documents, photographs, tangible objects, buildings or places, or copies or portions thereof, which are within the possession, custody or control of the government, and which are material to the preparation of the defendant's defense or are intended for use by the government as evidence in chief at the trial, or were obtained from or belong to the defendant."

I. Request for Discovery

criminal law questions and answers In a letter dated July 14, 2000, Brian Michaels, acting at the time as legal representative of Mr. Adams, submitted a letter for Discovery. (see Attachment 1)

In a telephone conversation in December with Mr. Adams, pro se, Mr. McLean declined to produce more Discovery.

On December 22, 2000, in his first meeting with assigned stand-by counsel Mr. Hooks,
are about a million pages of that sorta stuff in the LoC.
Yes. Both sides get discovery from each other (unless the information sought is privileged, such as confidential via lawyer-client relationship or part of the lawyer's work-product).
