What is the name of your state? Arizona
So here's what AZ Local Rules of Criminal Procedure (Rule 15.1(b)) say about discovery....
"the prosecutor shall make available to the defendant the following material and information within the prosecutor's possession or control:"
(and then goes through all the items they are required to provide, including their list of witnesses)
Then says...
"Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the prosecutor shall disclose the materials and information listed in Rule 15.1(b) not later than...the first pre-trial conference."
I got no list of anything from the prosecutor at either of two PTC's and I don't see anything here that requires a request on my part to trigger this disclosure. Can I object to the prosecution calling any witnesses, including the police officer that issued the citation (criminal speed)? I realize I would have to waive my right to face my accuser, but if it this person is the only witness and their testimony won't be heard, what does it matter?
