Using several case studies, this webinar will address defenses in child exploitation cases. The webinar will discuss the following:

  • Common defenses such as SODDI (Some Other Dude Did It), innocent download, virus, download/delete, and mental disabilities.
  • How to overcome these common defenses and avoid pitfalls during cross-examination (the defenses’ attempts to get witnesses to support their claimed defenses).
  • Information about pretrial issues, jury selection, testimony, handling of digital evidence, and summation, as well as how to use graphics and PowerPoint in trials.
