Definition of the Brady rule. The Brady doctrine is a pretrial discovery rule that was established by the United States Supreme Court in Brady v. Maryland in 1963. The rule requires that the prosecution must turn over all exculpatory evidence to the defendant in a criminal case. Exculpatory evidence is evidence that might exonerate the defendant.
A âSernaâ motion is a motion to dismiss the case based on prosecutorial delay, depriving the defendant of his or her Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. Such a motion often is brought when a citation or arrest happens several years before the client is arrested on a bench warrant. A motion to suppress under Penal Code Â§ 1538.5 is a request that the judge order certain evidence inadmissible for some reason, often an illegal search and seizure.
