Pre- indictment discovery?

Question:

Pre- indictment discovery?


Can I pressure the DA to provide discovery (police reports, etc) prior to being formally charged?

                                        

No discovery prior to indictment or and information being filed in for a misdemeanor case. 

If you're really eager to get the case moving along file and examining trial. It's a probable case hearing where you get to question the officers regarding the truthfulness of the accusation. Most lawyers consider it a motion for an early indictment because if your case is indicted you lose the right to have an examining trial. But, every now and then you get luck and file one
when the grand jury in between sessions.
