Any relevant evidence discovered during the discovery process must be submitted to the court.

If you don't you will be disbarred and held in contempt of court.

Since when? I know you have to submit a witness list, and things you intend to use in the trial (with some exceptions), but that's generally it.

Standard 11-2.2 Defense disclosure

(a) The defense should, within a specified and reasonable time prior to trial, disclose to the prosecution the following information and material and permit inspection, copying, testing, and photographing of disclosed documents and tangible objects:

(i) The names and addresses of all witnesses (other than the defendant) whom the defense intends to call at trial, together with all written statements of any such witness that are within the possession or control of the defense and that relate to the subject matter of the testimony of the witness. Disclosure of the identity and statements of a person who will be called for the sole purpose of impeaching a prosecution witness should not be required until after the prosecution witness has testified at trial.

(ii) Any reports or written statements made in connection with the case by experts whom the defense intends to call at trial, including the results of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests, experiments, or comparisons that the defendant intends to offer as evidence at trial. For each such expert witness, the defense should also furnish to the prosecution a curriculum vitae and a written description of the substance of the proposed testimony of the expert, the expert’s opinion, and the underlying basis of that opinion.

(iii) Any tangible objects, including books, papers, documents, photographs, buildings, places, or any other objects, which the defense intends to introduce as evidence at trial.

(b) If the defense intends to use character, reputation, or other act evidence not relating to the defendant, the defense should notify the prosecution of that intention and of the substance of the evidence to be used.

(c) If the defense intends to rely upon a defense of alibi or insanity, the defense should notify the prosecution of that intent and of the names of the witnesses who may be called in support of that defense.


Notably, the defense is only required to disclose something if it intends to use it or call them at trial. Anything the defense does not intend to use at trial is excluded. (There's also a couple exclusions for things used in the trial, such as impeachment witnesses.)

Provided the defense has no intent to use proof of guilt in the trial (which they wouldn't), under ABA guidelines, they are not required to disclose it.


Really? I did not know this. Was under the impression that you have to submit any evidence found during discovery.

But anyway I would still submit it beacuse it would be unethical to not do so.

And you don't get anyone to listen to you when you walk out of the legislature because your in the minority


What's the purpose of showing up? The opposition in control will simply dominate you if you do, it's the only VIABLE tactic, aside from armed revolt which is what people like you clearly seem intent on stoking.

Ah yes because the people can't just take the state to court for not taking care of there needs.

Since when do we care about following laws? The Democrats already have sanctuary cities sheltering literal criminals and refusing to cooperate with authorities, regardless if it's "legal" or not, clearly there picking and choosing.


I repeat, no amount of deflection. I have no qualms with Oregon Republicans opposing the Climate Bill, but to hold the entire legislature in limbo and thus deny EVERY constituent of Oregon representation on matters of governance is, again, insufferable.

Elections have consequences. To shut down the government because your in the minority is effectively saying we dont respect democracy or free and fair elections/


Yeah elections do have consequences, if the winners of elections treat the opposition like they are nothing more that rabbel to be dominated, you will get your consequences.

I don't know why this is not so hard to understand, this is pretty basic stuff for why nations collapse.

Oh, agreed, it is insufferable. But our politicians are lately nothing if not insufferable.

Yeah, just keep on building that straw man that represents in your mind an entire party.

Nevermind that you are using an illogical fallacy that makes your entire argument illegitimate, we have to fight this straw man! We must assume the other side is acting in bad faith for the sake of your confirmation bias.

No they arent treating them that way. Republicans simply dont want to respect they got outvoted and would rather shut down the government as punishment for voting against them

Using one candidate that is losing in votes as representative of the whole party for your strawman you are building.

Not logical my dude.

Using that line again, I see.

His comments are asinine, sure but, why do you always resort to beating that horse: “if you can do better, go run for office”. Did it to Katganistan in the NYPD thread too. Let him criticize if he wants to and you argue his points, intelligently, don’t just resort to that stupid sound bite. FFS.

Well, there's that and there's also the more sarcastic reasoning I was using which was that the 13th amendment limits elected officials powers thereby literally decreasing the Democratic authority of the nation.
