Public defender discusses ‘Unseeing the Prosecution’s Case’ July 10
The National Association for Public Defense (NAPD) will present a webinar on “Unseeing the Prosecution’s Case” Thursday, July 10, from 2 to 3 p.m.
This presentation will discuss the way to approach developing a defense from the beginning of a representation of a client. Attendees will learn how to move past the discovery and expand the information to lay the groundwork to developing a proper theory of defense. The program will also explore strategies to control the evidence which is presented to the jury so the facts of the case are those which best support a theory of defense.
Speaking at the webinar will be Andre Vitale who has served as a public defense lawyer for more than 25 years as a trial lawyer, training director, educator, and mentor. He currently works as the First Assistant Deputy Public Defender with the Essex Trial Region of the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender. He has developed an expertise in defending homicide and sex cases, with a proficiency in contesting forensic and other technical evidence, including DNA, fingerprints, CSAAS, and eyewitness identification.
Cost for the webinar is $50.
