This relates to Discovery, Is there an actual legitimate reason that people aren't allowed copies of the information in discovery? I mean seriously, you and your attorney get to read everything so the info is not a secret, yet the state still insists that defendants not be allowed to have copies. This seems like an intentional action that is used as a prosecution tool. When going through a folder full of information it is easy to miss something (possibly important) if every time you are given access to it you are rushed, interrupted or being asked questions. This situation makes it very hard to stay focused on a single train of thought and seems as if the prosecution knows this and intentionally tries to make it difficult to defend yourself. Can anyone explain this to me? Besides the fact that they are trying to win. Thanks
