What must TC send to DC when they receive a discovery request?

• A. Documents and other tangible evidence
• B. Information to be offered at sentencing
• C. Documents and other tangible evidence; information to be offered at sentencing; names and addresses of sentencing witnesses
• D. Names and addresses of sentencing witnesses

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is what discovery requires the Trial Counsel to hand over when the Defense Counsel asks for it. When a discovery request comes in, the government must provide a comprehensive set of items that lets the defense prepare for trial and sentencing. This includes: documents and other tangible evidence the government intends to use or might rely on, information that will be offered at sentencing, and the names and addresses of the witnesses who will testify during sentencing. Providing all three ensures the defense can assess the evidence, challenge or corroborate it, and respond to any sentencing information with full context.

If you only gave documents and tangible evidence, you’d miss sentencing information and witness details that can influence how the defense prepares. If you only gave sentencing information, you’d miss the actual evidence and the witnesses who would present it. If you only gave witness names and addresses, you’d miss the substantive materials and the sentencing data. The complete set is needed, so the correct option is the one that includes all three categories.
