Before deciding whether to enter a plea or proceed to trial, your attorney can review the State's case, including witness statements, charging affidavits, audio and video tapes, and physical evidence, in an effort to determine whether any of your constitutional rights have been violated in collecting evidence against you. Your attorney may then ask the Court to consider whether evidence collected against you in violation of your rights should be suppressed or kept from the jury hearing your case. In some instances, should evidence crucial to the State's case against you be suppressed, your case may be dismissed by the Court or dropped by the prosecutor. Short of that, pretrial motions may decrease the strength of the State's case and improve your likelihood of winning at trial.
