present evidence

This seems to be a specifically Puerto Rican usage. This is how it's translated by Thomas L. West in his Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business. So "se desfiló prueba" will be "evidence was presented".

agree Sandro Tomasi : P.R.: Regla 137. JUICIO; INSTRUCCIONES. Cualquiera de las partes podrá presentar al tribunal una petición escrita de que se den determinadas instrucciones [al jurado], al terminar el desfile de la prueba, […] si el tribunal razonablemente así lo ordena.

Thanks, Sandro :) I saw your comment on the previous question. I wonder where "desfilar" comes from? It makes me think of "parading" the evidence!
agree LEALZ : "se desfiló prueba" = "evidence was presented" (paraded, displayed, filed, submitted)
