MARKING EXHIBITS
Another one of your duties during the proceeding will be to mark the exhibits
received in evidence.
You must mark prosecution exhibits in the following
manner:
Prosecution Exhibit 1 for identification (insert consecutive Arabic numerals
for each succeeding exhibit admitted).
Mark exhibits for the defense as follows:
Defense Exhibit A for identification (insert consecutive capital letters; for
example, A, B, and C for each succeeding exhibit admitted). Transcribe defense
exhibits in the record in the same manner as prosecution exhibits, except letter
them instead of numbering them.
Mark appellate exhibits with Roman numerals; for example Appellate
Exhibit I, Appellate Exhibit II.
After an exhibit is admitted in evidence, it is your responsibility to delete the
words for identification. You will do this when directed by the military judge or
president during the proceedings. If copies or a true description is submitted for
original evidence received during the trial, the authenticity of the copies or
description must be attested to. This is usually done by the TC. Here are a few
examples:
A true copy.
A true description.
A true photograph.
