Keynote Presentation: DNA Evidence in the O.J. Simpson Case
by Rockne Harmon, former Senior Deputy District Attorney for Alameda County.
In the years after the O.J. Simpson acquittal, most media accounts dismissed the seemingly overwhelming DNA test results as having been either contaminated or planted, in attempts to rationalize the jury’s verdict. While these two theories were clearly argued by the defense, this presentation will allow the audience to decide whether there was any basis in fact for the jury’s verdict.
Principles of Courtroom Testimony Workshop, led by Rockne Harmon:
This workshop is designed to assist the forensic scientist to better appreciate their role in the judicial process. The discussion will help develop an understanding of the roles of opposing counsel and their respective responsibilities. Time will be spent explaining legal principles that underlie direct examination, cross examination, and expert testimony. Suggestions will be provided to assist the expert in developing an approach that will assist in ensuring that the expert’s testimony can be presented objectively and completely. The last part of the workshop will include a demonstration of some of these principles using actual casework reports and an experienced expert.
