Re: rights to my son discovery

There is no rule which says you cannot have a copy of the discovery just because you are listed as a witness. On the other hand, there is no rule which says they have to give you the discovery, either, even though your son requests it. Nothing prevents your son from giving you a copy of what he has, though.
