discovery in criminal cases is very limited as compared to civil cases. at trial, more evidence will be introduced by rules of evidence still need to be met. for example, documents need to have foundation, rumors and hearsay can be introduced for truth, physical evidence needs to shoe chain of custody but your lawyer will know all this and be able to make the necessary objectons and motions if the case goes to trial and in advance in motion practice.

in criminal cases, the prosecutor need not disclose everything. you should trust your lawyer but if you have time read on rules of evidence in criminal cases. a lot of information in library and online. be sure to be be professional and curteous in court and with the DA. you dont have to prove your innocence, the prosecutor has to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. big burden on the DA.
