Evidence review for West Virginia attorneys
West Virginia law enforcement agencies have been adopting body-worn cameras. Defense attorneys in Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown encounter video evidence in criminal cases.
Body-Cam Laws in West Virginia
West Virginia does not have a statewide body-cam mandate. Charleston PD, Huntington PD, and West Virginia State Police have body-cam programs. West Virginia's Freedom of Information Act (WV Code 29B-1) governs access to body-cam footage.
Discovery Rules & Video Evidence
West Virginia criminal discovery is governed by W.Va.R.Crim.P. 16. The prosecution must disclose all material evidence, including body-cam footage, to the defense. West Virginia courts have recognized body-cam footage as discoverable evidence.
