New/revised Indiana court rules.
This one (among others) is said by a legal firm to have important changes: Rule 2.5. Discovery
(in part)
(B) Disclosures by the State
(1) The state must disclose and furnish all relevant items and information under section (B)(2) to the defense within thirty days from the date of the initial hearing, an appearance by defense counsel, or an appearance by pro se defendant, whichever is later.
(2) The state must disclose the following material and information within its possession or control:
(a) The names and last known addresses of persons whom the state intends to call as witnesses, with their relevant written or recorded statements. The state may refrain from providing a witness' address or other contact information under this rule if the state in good faith believes the disclosure of the witness' address or other contact information may jeopardize the safety of the witness or the witness' immediate family. If the state does not disclose the witness' address or other contact information in its possession for the reason stated under this rule, then the state must make the witness available to defense counsel upon reasonable notice.
(b) Any written, oral, or recorded statements made by the accused or by a co-defendant, regardless of whether charged or joined, and a list of witnesses to the making and acknowledgement of such statements.
(c) A transcript of those portions of grand jury minutes containing testimony of persons whom the prosecuting attorney intends to call as witnesses at the trial.
(d) Any reports or statements of experts, made in connection with the case, including results of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests, experiments, or comparisons.
(e) Any books, papers, documents, photographs, or tangible objects that the prosecuting attorney intends to use in the hearing or trial.
(f) Any books, papers, documents, photographs, or tangible objects which were obtained from or belong to the accused.
(g) Documents produced pursuant to Rule 1.4.
(3) The state must disclose to the defense any material or information within its possession or control that tends to negate the guilt of the accused as to the offense charged or would tend to reduce the punishment.
(4) The state must disclose and furnish to the defense prior to the trial date, subject to protective orders: any record of prior criminal convictions or other evidence that may be used to impeach the persons whom the state intends to call as witnesses at the hearing or trial.
(5) Upon a reasonable defense request and a showing of materiality to the preparation of the defense, the court may require disclosure to the defense of unprivileged information not covered by this rule.
*****************************
(C) Disclosures by the Defense
(1) Within thirty days after the prosecutor’s disclosure, the defense must furnish the state with the following material and information within the defense’s possession or control:
(a) The names and last known addresses of persons whom the defense intends to call as witnesses, with their relevant written or recorded statements. The defense may refrain from providing a witness' address or other contact information under this rule if the defense in good faith believes the disclosure of the witness' address or other contact information may jeopardize the safety of the witness or the witness' immediate family. If the defense does not disclose the witness' address or other contact information in its possession for the reason stated under this rule, then the defense must make the witness available to the state upon reasonable notice.
(b) Any books, papers, documents, photographs, or tangible objects the defense intends to use as evidence.
(c) Any reports or statements of experts, made in connection with the particular case, including results of physical or mental examinations and of scientific tests, experiments, or comparisons, that may be used at a hearing or trial.
(2) The defense must disclose any statutory defense in writing by the statutory deadline or, if there is no statutory deadline, within a reasonable time.
(D) Court-ordered Disclosures
(1) After the formal charge has been filed, upon written motion by the state, the court may require the defendant to do the following:
(a) appear in a line-up;
(b) speak for identification by witnesses to an offense;
(c) be fingerprinted;
(d) pose for photographs not involving re-enactment of a scene;
(e) try on articles of clothing;
(f) allow the taking of specimens of material from under fingernails;
(g) allow the taking of samples of blood, hair, saliva, and other bodily materials that involve no unreasonable intrusion;
(h) provide a handwriting sample; and
(i) submit to a reasonable physical or medical body inspection.
Whenever the personal appearance of the accused is required for the foregoing purposes, reasonable notice of the time and place of such appearance must be given by the state to the accused and defense counsel, who have the right to be present. The court may provide for these appearances in an order admitting the accused to bail or providing for release.
