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).
How Long Does it Take to Get Discovery in a Criminal Case? Generally, the prosecution must provide discovery within a set period after the defense's formal request, often ranging from a few weeks to several months.
