Evidence During a Federal Investigation in Michigan

When you are under investigation by a federal agency in conjunction with the United States Attorney, your lawyer may be able to negotiate early access to certain evidence. This is especially true if you are working out a plea deal, however the prosecutor has full power to limit the evidence you see, so it may not be too helpful. Your lawyer can advise you concerning the steps you can take and what you can do to defend yourself.

Discovery Stage of a Federal Case in Michigan

After you have been charged with a crime, your right to disclosure of evidence changes. Oral and written statements, recorded statements, grand jury testimony, documents and photographs, information from examinations, and the names of expert witnesses along with a summary of their testimony will need to be disclosed by both sides. Additionally, any evidence that favors your side of the case will need to be disclosed. Attorney work product and witness statements are exempt from disclosure during discovery.

If the U.S. attorney does not comply with discovery rules and fails to disclose relevant information, the court can order the attorney to disclose that information, grant you more time for review, or prevent the evidence from being used.
