About the Speaker:
Troy Stabenow (Jefferson City, MO)
Troy Stabenow is an Assistant Federal Public Defender for the Western District of Missouri. In 2008, he authored "Deconstructing the Myth of Careful Study: A Primer on the Flawed Progression of the Child Pornography Guidelines," a paper that galvanized debate on federal sentencing guidelines. In 2012, he published a follow-up article summarizing what science can tell us about these offenders, and proposing an alternate system of offense levels and enhancements. His work has been the subject of federal opinions in almost every circuit. He continues to teach, write, and practice in this field. Mr. Stabenow first developed his experience in this field while serving in the U.S. Army. During an eight year period of Active Duty, Major Stabenow served a tour as a military prosecutor with the 1st Infantry Division, and then a second tour as the senior prosecutor for the 1st Armored Division, both overseas. While in Germany, he worked closely with the German Bundeskriminalamt, (The "BKA" - the German equivalent of the FBI) on child pornography cases and other computer crimes. He was also a primary Department of Defense trainer for both military investigators and prosecutors on these crimes. Later, as the head of trial defense services at Fort Riley, he continued to try child pornography cases throughout the central United States. In addition to his position as an AFPD, Mr. Stabenow continues to serve as an adjunct professor at both the University of Missouri Law School, and at the U.S. Army's JAG school in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the author of the four-volume series entitled "West Federal Forms for District Courts - Criminal (2012)" and serves on the 8th Circuit Criminal Jury Instructions Subcommittee.
