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.

What does deny as moot mean?

It may depend on the context, but in general it means that the motion no longer has any value so it was denied simply because it doesn't matter. For example, suppose you file two separate motions: one to dismiss a case against you, and another to exclude certain evidence so it can't be used against you at trial. If the judge grants your first motion, then the second is meaningless; no evidence will be used against you because there will be no trial. Therefore, the second motion would be denied as moot.

What is it called when a Judge allows an interrogatories allowed to be used in court?

When a judge allows interrogatories to be used in court, it is typically referred to as "admissibility of interrogatories." Interrogatories are written questions submitted by one party to another in a legal case, and if they are deemed relevant and properly formulated, the judge can permit their use as evidence during the trial. This process is part of the broader discovery phase, where parties gather information to prepare for trial.

If a defendant refuses to testify at trial what can the prosecution tell the jury?

Your question is unclear. In the USA, a defendant does NOT HAVE TO testify at his trial, ever. The defendant is the one accused of committing the crime. He does not have to say anything (OJ Simpson did NOT testify in his first trial, Scott Peterson did NOT testify at his trial.) The Prosecutor will present his case (with all his evidence and witnesses) explaining to the jury (or judge) WHY the evidence shows the defendant committed the crime. The Defense Attorney will present his case (with all his evidence and witnesses) explaining to the jury (or judge) WHY the evidence does NOT show the defendant committed the crime. The defendant does not have to be one of those witnesses. He cannot be forced to testify.


Information against the accused that cannot be used?

It is evidence that has been ruled "INADMISSABLE" by the trial judge. One is tempted to answer this question with "hearsay" evidence. HOWEVER - that would be wrong. There are so many exceptions to the hearsay rule that the only way the admissability of hearsay can be determined is by submitting it to the trial judge and having the judge rule on it. It is entirely possible that, due to the legal cirecumstances of the case, hearsay evidence could be included. However, if the judge rules against it, it becomes "inadmissable." THUS - information that cannot be used against the accused is called "inadmissable evidence."
