Rule 6.126 – Decision on Admissibility of Evidence

May 13, 2021 | Criminal Procedure, Michigan

Where the court makes a decision on the admissibility of evidence and the prosecutor or the defendant files an interlocutory application for leave to appeal seeking to reverse that decision, the court shall stay proceedings pending resolution of the application in the Court of Appeals, unless the court makes findings that the evidence is clearly cumulative or that an appeal is frivolous because legal precedent is clearly against the party’s position. If the application for leave to appeal is filed by the prosecutor and the defendant is incarcerated, the defendant may request that the court reconsider whether pretrial release is appropriate.

Mich. Ct. R. 6.126

Adopted September 23, 2020, effective January 1, 2021.
