(1)Exhibits admitted at trial or other record proceeding.(a) At the conclusion of a trial or other record proceeding, all exhibits larger than 8-1/2 x 11 inches which are part of the record shall be reduced to that size, and all tangible objects which are part of the record, shall be photographed in color by the party originally proffering the evidence. The 8-1/2 x 11 inch reductions and color photographs shall be substituted in the record for the original exhibits and tangible objects unless the Court, upon motion or sua sponte, or an appellate court, shall direct otherwise. It shall be the responsibility of the judicial staff to maintain exhibits which have been admitted during the course of the trial or other record proceeding.(b) Whenever a video deposition of a witness is presented at a trial or hearing, the video shall be marked as an exhibit as required by Pa.R.C.P. 4017.1. At the conclusion of the trial or hearing, the video shall be returned for safekeeping to the party who presented it and that party shall maintain custody of the video until conclusion of all appellate proceedings in the case, unless the Court upon motion or sua sponte shall direct otherwise.(c) Whenever a video deposition of a witness is presented at trial or hearing, it shall be accompanied by a transcript of the deposition as required by Pa.R.C.P. 4017.1(a)(2). The accompanying transcript shall be marked as an exhibit and retained in the record of the proceedings. In the event the record of the trial or hearing is transcribed for the appellate court or other purposes, the exhibit of the transcript accompanying the deposition shall be considered the official transcript of the testimony of the deponent. It shall not be necessary for the court reporter to also transcribe the audio portion of the video which was presented at trial or other record proceeding, so long as the record clearly reflects which part of the audio portion of the videotape deposition was offered into evidence and admitted.(2)Disposition of Exhibits After Trial or Other Record Proceeding.(a) After trial or other record proceeding, exhibits admitted into evidence shall be retained by the Prothonotary until it is determined whether an appeal has been taken from a final judgment. If an appeal has been taken, the exhibits shall be retained by the Prothonotary until disposition of the appeal.(b) Within sixty (60) days of the final disposition of all appeals or the date when no further appeal may be taken under the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure, the party who offered the exhibits may reclaim them from the Prothonotary. Any exhibits not so reclaimed may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the Prothonotary, after obtaining an order of court allowing for the destruction of the exhibits.(c) Notwithstanding the above, any person who has a possessory or legal interest in any exhibit which has been introduced into evidence may file a claim for such exhibit within thirty (30) days after trial or other record proceeding. The Court shall determine the validity of such claim and determine the manner and timing of disposition.Amended effective 1/1/2022
