What is the current state of the law on discovery of evidence in criminal cases?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Johnston, 285 N.Y.S.2d 243, 55 Misc.2d 185 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1967):
In oral argument of the motion, counsel for the defendant placed great stress upon the holdings in People v. Preston, 13 Misc.2d 802, 176 N.Y.S.2d 542 (1958); People v. Powell, 49 Misc.2d 624, 268 N.Y.S.2d 380 (1965). The court is familiar with these decisions and is also aware of the trend toward a more liberal rule favoring discovery of evidence of the prosecution in criminal cases.
