How many duplicates does a court reporter file in a capital murder case?

One original and one duplicate
Original and two duplicates
Only the original
Three copies total

The correct answer is: Original and two duplicates

In a capital murder case, a court reporter typically files one original transcript and two duplicates. This practice ensures that there are multiple copies available for various parties involved in the legal proceedings. The original transcript is often filed with the court, while the duplicates may be provided to the defense and prosecution or kept for other essential administrative purposes. Having multiple copies is crucial for reference during appeals or further legal actions, given the serious nature of capital murder cases. This protocol reflects the importance of maintaining accurate records in high-stakes legal environments.
