Technology in the Courtroom

I recently received this e-mail from a colleague regarding the use of technology in the courtroom and thought some of you would be interested.


Hello all,

Check out this recent article from the Huffington Post.  


Nothing really new cited in this article. Basically a rehash of last year's Wired Magazine article, The Sneakiest Way Prosecutors Get a Conviction: PowerPoint. Both authors are essentially focusing on cases that are a few years old. These cases and similar topics have been covered during past NDAA courses.


Here is a Michigan case that supports the use of PowerPoint and rejects portions of the Glasmann v. Washington case that is often used as the model example of prosecutor  "PowerPoint error." Here is the link:


These topics and many more will be covered during the NDDA’s next Digital Prosecutor Course in January in Vegas. Scroll down  my e-mail for more details on the course.
Register for The Digital Prosecutor at:

Cheers,
