In fighting your DUI case, your side has the right to know some, if not all, information about your arrest and the chemical testing the prosecutor is preparing to use against you at your trial. In some jurisdictions, the disclosure of some facts is mandatory, while in other states, disclosure is not as easy to obtain. The process by which this information is released to your attorney by the prosecution, and also (in most states) from your side to the prosecution, is called “discovery.”
The best DUI trial specialists know what to expect to receive from the prosecutor in a typical case. They also know what they should be provided, and more importantly, when something important appears to be missing. I’ll explin more about the discovery process in my next blog post.
