Product Description
In your criminal law practice, the stakes are highest when homicide is the charge: one life’s been lost. Another may face the strictest sentencing our legal system can impose. No matter which side of the counsel table you hail from—prosecution or defense—this program amps up your awareness of the most determining scientific and social factors in homicide trial. Our panel brings you current on what’s happening in Massachusetts’ courts on both fronts. They present cresting case law, discuss Rule 17, address the issue of reducing verdicts, and look at technology options in the courtroom. The program provides news you can use from the DNA analysis frontier and has a panel discussion around race issues in jury empanelment, featuring Chief Justice Kimberly Budd!You come away from this course savvier, more aware, and more knowledgeable. Raise your homicide practice to a higher level.
