I've been waiting almost 2 years for FOIA to fulfill a request for trial transcripts.

Home | Angela Ross How long does it take the FOIA office to fulfill a request? I assisted in a court martial in December 2023.

🔥 JUST RELEASED — Completely Updated for 2026!
Larry Pozner’s High Impact Cross for S*x Cases – Advanced Edition

If you defend sexual assault cases, this fully updated 4-hour masterclass is built to change the way you cross-examine—and change your results in court.

This all-new edition gives criminal defense lawyers powerful, practical tools to win credibility battles, strengthen consent defenses, and present cleaner, more persuasive theories of the case.

🎯 What You’ll Learn to Do Better:
• Use behavior-versus-story impeachment to make jurors see the defense theory
• Pre-sell your cross in opening so jurors expect the key facts to come from the State’s own witnesses
• Sequence facts to reduce juror cognitive load and guide their decision-making
• Turn prosecution witnesses into your best sources of favorable evidence
• Build cross-examination chapters that jurors actually retain and rely on during deliberations
• Demonstrate reasonable belief in consent through implicit communication, signaling, and real-world behavior
• Expose allegation escalation and narrative changes that occur after civil or Title IX involvement

Pozner walks you through real examples, full chapter demonstrations, and actual cross-examination question sets, showing exactly how to structure leading questions, handle difficult witnesses, and deploy chapters under pressure. These aren’t abstract concepts—these are courtroom-ready tools you can use immediately.

What is your favorite swag to get and use from vendors?

I have a stylus pen that I have to keep around. The stylus helps out when I'm wearing gloves and still need to use my phone.

Cups are nice but are they too bulky to grab when you're at a conference and you don't want to deal with packing it and bring it home?

Even if you like a certain item, what makes you remember the brand?

A Bogus Bite Mark Sent Him to Prison for Murder. Alabama Wants to Keep Him There. A famed forensic dentist recanted his testimony against Charles McCrory. He may die in prison anyway.

It amazes me that there are people out there that have no problem presenting themselves as experts when they truly lack the education, training, and experience. Yet they have been accepted in court and verdicts have been based on their testimony

Not a fan of the title of this article

Life is about to get tougher for expert witnesses - and the lawyers who hire them The committee that sets the rules for federal courts is expected to significantly toughen the standards judges must use to screen out bogus expert testimony, in a move that will make it harder for litigants to put shaky expert testimony before jurors and easier for defendants to get cases dismissed....
