Program Summary: Your latest case presents itself to you…your client is charged with some degree of homicide. What is your defense? This special compilation program consists of the five highest-rated NACDL presentations on Homicide Cases from recent seminars. You will learn how to develop an effective theory of defense and how to give well written jury instructions that will help convey your theory of innocence. You will also explore the scientific evidence behind gunshot and strangulation cases, and how to challenge the state's experts in such cases. Best practices for picking an effective jury will also be discussed, as well as the relevant law as to some of the more frequent topics that come up in trial and during voir dire.
