D.N.J. L. Cr. R. 55.2
Custody and Disposition of Exhibits
At the conclusion of a criminal matter, the Clerk shall promptly return to the United States Attorney all
trial exhibits marked or introduced in evidence by the Government, except those pleadings from the Clerk's file
that were marked as exhibits, and all supporting materials in the form of unused exhibits, contraband and grand
jury material, including audio and videotapes held by the Clerk at the request of the Government. Any exhibit
marked or introduced in evidence by a defendant in a criminal matter shall be returned to the attorney for the
defendant at the conclusion of the matter. The attorney to whom the exhibits are returned shall be responsible
for their preservation until the time for appeal has passed, during the pendency of any appeal, or for six months,
whichever period is longer, and shall make them available to any party or attorney in the matter for the purpose
of preparing the record or appendix on appeal. For the purpose of this Rule, a criminal matter is deemed
concluded after a verdict is returned, or after a dispositive finding by the Court.
