‘Prosecuting a Vehicular Homicide Case’ explored in webinar March 26
The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the Traffic Safety Training Program Webinar “Prosecuting a Vehicular Homicide Case” on Thursday, March 26, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Prosecuting a vehicular homicide case can be a daunting task even for experienced prosecutors. Presenting a strong case to a jury requires a prosecutor to make sure investigators on the case have secured all possible evidence that can be presented to a jury. That includes knowing what type of evidence can be gathered not only from the scene of the crime but also from the vehicle itself. A prosecutor handling a vehicular homicide case also needs to know what to do with that evidence once secured and how to use it to present the best story of the crash to the jury.
This 90-minute webinar will provide an overview of the potential sources of data that can be gathered from vehicles in traffic fatalities, technical considerations when dealing with this data, authentication and admissibility of this data, and how to effectively present it at trial. The program will by presented by St. Clair County Senior Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Amy Goodrich.
