Evidence disclosure is a fundamental principle in both American and Brazilian legal systems, governed by rules of civil procedure and criminal procedure. In the USA, it falls under discovery rules; in Brazil, it's regulated by the Code of Criminal Procedure (Código de Processo Penal). Prosecutors have a constitutional obligation in both jurisdictions to disclose exculpatory evidence to defendants. This concept is essential for ensuring due process rights and fair trial guarantees.
