A motion for discovery of police officer records is addressed solely to the discretion of the trial court, and we review the trial court's ruling under the deferential abuse of discretion standard. (Alford v. Superior Court (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1033, 1039.)
An accused is generally entitled to discover all relevant and material information in the possession of the prosecution that will aid him in the preparation of a defense. (Hinojosa v. Superior Court (1976) 55 Cal.App.3d 692, 696.)
