ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Challenging Criminal Procedure Issues: What You Need to Know Now provides an opportunity for participants to learn from experienced lawyers and Superior Court judges about some discrete and timely challenges confronting criminal practitioners. Judge Christine McEvoy will demystify the burden of proof in suppression cases, focusing on the different burdens and when those switch, and the importance of honoring the technical requirements for affidavits in this dynamic area of the law. Judge Frank Gaziano will canvass the most recent criminal cases that impact criminal procedure. Then two expert litigators, one defense and one prosecution, will discuss the practical implications of Commonwealth v. DiGiambatista. Specifically, participants will learn how to navigate the critical and delicate process of redacting videotaped confessions that have been deemed admissible. Finally a Suffolk professor will review the powerful social science literature that has flowed from Miranda v. Arizona, and then suggest how that social science informs and impacts strategic decisions relating to Miranda challenges.
Following each presentation, the expert panel of judges and lawyers will offer practice tips and answer questions relating to the procedural issues that have been raised.
ATTEND AND LEARN - How appreciating the nuances of the burden of proof and burden shifting can impact the outcome of a Motion to Suppress hearing.
- Which recent Massachusetts’ appellate decisions veteran judges believe you need to know.
- How the seminal SJC case, Commonwealth v. DiGiambatista, complicates the admission of defendants’ statements at trial, and how to address those complications.
- What social scientists have concluded about Miranda, and how those findings are relevant to challenging the admission of defendants’ statements.
