WHAT IS A SUPPRESSION MOTION?

0

A suppression motion is a (usually) written document prepared by the defense attorney that seeks to suppress certain evidence the prosecutor is looking to use against you at trial. Common motions will seek to suppress oral or written statements, physical evidence (a gun, drugs, bloody clothing) or an identification procedure which was conducted by the police, such as a line – up, show-up, or photo spread. Your lawyer may also make a motion to prevent the jury from hearing about any crimes of which you have been previously convicted, if you decide to testify at trial.
