The Flash Disk is admissible as an additional exhibit because the requirements of section 289(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act were met, the defence was notified and aware, and the person tendering the exhibit (PW13) had sufficient knowledge and possession as per binding precedent. Objections regarding description, authenticity, and access to contents do not bar admission at this stage.
