In Michigan drunk driving cases, the defendant is entitled to discovery for everything related to the DUI charges. Here is a list of what you may be entitled to for your case. Your Michigan DUI attorney will request these from the prosecutor, and you will be able to review everything, and have an in-depth conversation and strategy session with your lawyer.
1. the names and addresses of all lay and expert witnesses whom the party intends to call at trial
2. any written or recorded statement by a lay witness whom the party intends to call at trial, except that a defendant is not obliged to provide the defendant’s own statement
3. any report of any kind produced by or for an expert witness whom the party intends to call at trial
4. any criminal record that the party intends to use at trial to impeach a witness;
5. any document, photograph, or other paper that the party intends to introduce at trial and a description of and an opportunity to inspect any tangible physical evidence that the party intends to introduce at trial. On good cause shown, the court may order that a party be given the opportunity to test, without destruction, such tangible physical evidence.
6. any exculpatory information or evidence known to the prosecuting attorney
7. any police report concerning the case, except so much of a report as concerns a continuing investigation;
8. any written or recorded statements by a defendant, co-defendant, or accomplice, even if that person is not a prospective witness at trial
9. any affidavit, warrant, and return pertaining to a search or seizure in connection with the case; and any plea agreement, grant of immunity, or other agreement for testimony in connection with the case.
