A: The Clerk of Court for that case will have some, but not all, items. Discovery is sometimes merely exchanged between prosecutor and defense attorney, and will not always be found in the file at the Clerk's office.

Some pre-trial motions and exhibits do not get transcribed. So, that takes some investigation, to see if the Court docket shows a pre-trial motion hearing, and order (making a ruling, for or against the moving party).

This short synopsis shows why appellate attorneys charge to investigate a case they did not personally handle, for trial.
