Certain but not all information from the prosecutor can be sought with proper discovery motions, such as a Brady motion.

If you were arrested, you should already have gotten a lawyer. If not, it is likely that things will go worse than they should. Your lawyer will know the appropriate time and deadlines for various motions, and what can and should be done in those motions.

After you are formally indicted or accused, you can file a discovery motion, in anticipation of jury trial, and the prosecutor must provide all of the evidence against you at leat ten days prior to trial. If your attorney is not in place when you get the discovery, you will be at a severe disadvantage. See my website for other helpful hints: www.lawrencelewispc.com Good luck.
