The state also files a motion for a “joint trial of defendants.”
-
The state requests all written reports made by experts the defense expects to call as a witness, including the results of any examination, test, experiment, or comparison, and asks that the defendant furnish the name of each witness the defense intends to call to show that the defendant was not present at the time, place, and date as set forth in the criminal indictment.
