Can my son request to see the motion of discovery before he takes a plea bargain?
My son seen his lawyer and was offered 2 yrs . jail time saying they have pictures but my son hasn't seen them. Can he request to see the pictures and who reported the incidence legally.My sons PO didn't recommend for probation but he got it anyway . His po hung her head down and told him she would get him. His court was the 19th of June and she called him in on the 27th and arrested him because someone saw him and took pictures of him coming out of a grocery store with beer. They are making such of a big thing out of something so little. He is disable because of a (mental disorder)he is bipolar and doesn't understand a lot and I can not be there to help this time because he is in jail. I've tried to call his lawyer but he will not return my phone calls.
ANSWER:
Your son has a right to review all the discovery with his attorney. Some counties have open discovery policies and some have closed.
If it's closed the your son can actually be transported to the court or to the district attorney's office to review the discovery at their designated location.
