FAQ
Brady material, or the evidence the prosecutor is required to disclose under this rule, includes any information favorable to the accused which may reduce a defendant's potential sentence, go against the credibility of an unfavorable witness, or otherwise allow a jury to infer against the defendant's guilt.
A Brady motion is a defendant's request for the prosecution in a criminal case to turn over any potentially exculpatory evidence (which means evidence that may be favorable to the accused).
You or your lawyer may file a motion for discovery to request that the state produce evidence it plans to introduce at trial. Your lawyer needs to know the type of evidence the state will use against you at trial so that they can properly prepare for your case.

Usually, the first thing after you've looked at it is to go over it with your client, the defendant. At least theoretically, the discovery material should show you how to proceed. Sometimes the discovery is enough to convince a client and his attorney that the best choice is to work out the best possible disposition.
The Brady material has three components: “The evidence at issue must be favorable to the accused, either because it is exculpatory, or because it is impeaching; that evidence must have been suppressed by the State, either willfully or inadvertently; and prejudice must have ensued” concluded in the Strickler v.
