Conviction Integrity Webinar - May 30, 2023. This event was part of the Enhancing Conviction Integrity through Forensics webinar series. Presenters summarized the right to confrontation under Crawford v. WA and its progeny and emphasized forfeiture by wrongdoing as a tool to hold suspects accountable when witnesses are unavailable for trial due to the suspectÕs wrongful conduct.

This training program will utilize the Bring Your Own Case (BYOC) model to provide needed training to capital defense teams, as well as provide the basis for ongoing technical assistance. The combined defense team will work with a faculty of leading experts on issues directly relevant to the defenders' training needs. The agenda is developed in accordance with the BYOC model and is tailored to the specific training needs of the trainees. The program was preceded by a single-day train-the-trainers program for program facilitators.

Vera TTA coaches conducted a monthly call with grantee to discuss program implementation and challenges.
