Change provisions relating to discovery of information contained in electronic devices and to expert witnesses in criminal cases

LB 93 updates Nebraska's criminal discovery rules to require prosecutors to share digital evidence and expert witness details with defendants. It expands access to phone records, text messages, social media, and computer data when relevant to a case, and mandates disclosure of expert qualifications and opinions. The bill affects defendants facing felony charges or misdemeanor cases with possible jail time, ensuring they can review digital evidence and challenge expert testimony. Key changes include defining "digital information" broadly and adding a "continuing duty" for prosecutors to disclose new evidence during trials. These provisions aim to balance defendants' right to prepare a defense with practical trial management.
