Affidavit in Mitigation - How Submitted
After verdict against him, the defendant shall not be permitted to submit any affidavit to the court
which goes to deny matters of fact, but he may submit affidavits as to matters in extenuation or
mitigation; provided, they are filed so as to allow the Attorney General or Solicitor a reasonable time to
answer them.
Note:
Rule 28 is substantially the language of Criminal Practice Rule 4.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
