Who receives a copy of the new list after it is created?

• A. Prosecution, defense, and judge.
• B. The jury.
• C. The clerk.
• D. The court reporter.

Answer: (A)

In court procedures, distributing a new list to the prosecution, defense, and the judge ensures everyone involved has the same information for preparation and decision-making. The attorneys need to know what will be presented so they can object, cross-examine, and plan their strategy, while the judge needs the same material to rule on motions and manage the flow of the case. Jurors, on the other hand, should rely on evidence actually admitted in court and the judge’s instructions; they don’t need or benefit from internal planning lists. That’s why the copies go to the prosecution, defense, and the judge.
