Art. 729.2 Time, place and manner of discovery and inspection

When a judge grants a request for discovery in a criminal case, the judge has to spell out exactly how it will happen. This means the court order will state when the evidence must be shared, where the exchange will take place, and how it should be handed over.

The judge also has the power to add extra rules or conditions if needed. For example, the court might set limits on who can view certain evidence or require copies to be made a certain way. This gives the judge flexibility to make sure the process is fair and works smoothly for everyone involved in the case.
