A Practical Blueprint to Defending Homicide Cases: From Intake to Trial
From the very first client meeting to the last word in closing argument, this program gives you the concrete tools to defend a homicide case with confidence and precision. You’ll learn how to launch an effective investigation immediately, avoid early mistakes that can sink a case, build a coherent defense theory, and select themes that resonate with jurors. You’ll also get strategies for mastering jury selection in emotionally charged cases, leveraging expert testimony for maximum impact, and managing media coverage without undermining your defense.
In this in-depth training, experienced trial attorney Eric Davis breaks homicide defense down into a repeatable blueprint—one you can adapt to any jurisdiction or case. He walks you through each strategic milestone that defines a winning defense: identifying urgent investigative needs, locking down favorable evidence, refining your case theory as the facts evolve, and anticipating the prosecution’s moves before they happen.
You’ll walk away ready to:
- Launch an effective investigation from day one and preserve crucial defense options.
- Structure your defense strategy around a strong, adaptable theory of the case.
- Prepare witnesses, exhibits, and order of proof for maximum trial impact.
- Navigate high-profile media attention and address potential juror bias.
Homicide trials are the ultimate test of a defense lawyer’s skill, preparation, and judgment. With this clear, actionable framework, you’ll stay organized, stay strategic, and give your client the strongest defense possible.
