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.
Evidence of a crime can be used regardless of where it is recovered from.
If your trial has no jury, then you or your counsel has chosen a "bench trial" whereby the judge will hear the case and render a decision. The evidence is used exactly as if a jury is present, only it, and the entire case, will be presented to the judge instead.
Evidence that is being examined will probably be used in a trial. Evidence can be gathered and examined by both the prosecution and the defense.
Suppress means to exclude or prevent disclosure, often used in reference to evidence sought to be introduced at a criminal trial. A motion to suppress is a request to a judge to keep out evidence at a trial or hearing, often made when a party believes the evidence was unlawfully obtained.
