The two main ways evidence would not be shown (admissible) in trial is 1. If the evidence is found to have been obtained by illegal means and the attorney (defense or prosecution) challenges its use in court. 2. The prosecution or defense intentionally or unintentionally fails to disclose articles of evidence during a criminal trial. Which by the way, is illegal.

Can evidence from one trial be used in another?

If the evidence is relevant in another trial, it can be used. The issue may be whether there should be a second trial at all. If it is a second trial with the same defendant there are issues of double jeopardy. If it is a second trial with a different defendant then the question arises whether the evidence is relevant. There can also be a civil trial following a criminal trial, in which case again the question is one of relevance. The most famous civil trial following a criminal trial is the OJ Simpson situation, and much evidence from the criminal trial was relevant to the civil lawsuit. See related links below.
