    Because of the dynamic nature of sexual assault litigation, current knowledge, principles, and approaches can easily become outdated. Stay on top of the latest developments in this area with this new edition of Sexual Assault Trials, the only book of its kind written by an active trial practitioner.

    Covering virtually all aspects of sexual assault trials, this resource is a complete handbook for anticipating and fulfilling the special demands of sexual assault cases. Get expert guidance on discovery and pretrial issues, jury selection, direct and cross-examination, hearsay, expert testimony, presentation of evidence, and jury instructions to help you develop a winning strategy for your case. Even more, the all-new third edition covers developing issues in sexual assault litigation, including:

  • the effects of Crawford v. Washington in sexual assault litigation;
  • an expanded discussion of hearsay issues and expert psychological testimony, digital photographs, and authenticating of computer evidence;
  • child pornography issues, such as the discovery of child pornography images and the determination of age in those images;
  • expanded discussion of many areas such as disclosure of information under Brady and issues surrounding the use of polygraph evidence.

    • The discussion also includes an analysis of the medical, scientific, and social science issues that come up in sexual assault litigation, such as the interpretation of physical findings in the examination of assault victims, the psychological aspects of sexual abuse, sensitivities involved in interviewing the child witness, and DNA and related technology.

    Whether you’re searching for answers on how to proceed in a sexual assault case, or just want expert advice on trial tactics for any criminal trial, you’ll find the answers you need in Sexual Assault Trials, Third Edition.
