Criminal Defense Exhibit FAQ

What exhibits are most common in criminal defense?

Discovery materials, police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage stills, expert reports, forensic evidence, and alibi documentation are frequently used in criminal defense cases.

Should I use D-prefix numbering for defense exhibits?

Yes, defense exhibits typically use D-1, D-2, D-3 numbering to distinguish them from prosecution exhibits (P-1, P-2). ExhibitPrep's Defense template uses this standard format.

How do I handle large volumes of discovery?

Batch upload all discovery PDFs to ExhibitPrep. Organize by category (police reports, witness statements, lab results), then stamp with sequential numbering. Consider creating a master index.

Can I stamp surveillance video frame captures?

Yes! Convert video frames to PDF format, then stamp as exhibits. Group related frames together or stamp individually depending on your trial strategy.

What about expert witness exhibits?

Stamp expert reports, diagrams, and supporting materials as defense exhibits. Use consistent numbering and consider creating exhibit binders for complex expert testimony.
