Re: discovery notes

You will almost certainly not be able to obtain a copy of the prosecutor's notes, even with a subpoena. This type of information generally falls under the category of what is called "attorney work product," meaning that it contains information reflecting the attorney's analysis or thoughts. Attorney work product is not discoverable.

The odds are you will not get them unless there is something exculpatory. If you need help contact me.
