The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the webinar “No Stone Unturned: Investigating Fatal Crashes As Homicides” on Thursday, May 28, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
When thinking about homicide, thoughts turn to gunshot residue, ballistics analysis, stab wounds, and blood splatter. But homicide can have a different face too. Homicide can be mangled metal, empty prescription and alcohol bottles, skid marks, and Event Data Recorder (EDR) data. Many crashes involving serious injuries and/or fatalities have an impaired driving component, but oftentimes that part of the investigation is overlooked. Fatal crashes require agencies to collaborate and share resources so that these crimes can be investigated as the homicides that they are.
This webinar will cover all the various aspects of a crash scene and what can be done to full investigate these crimes so that the prosecution has all available evidence to use at trial. Presenting at the program will be Michigan State Police Sergeant Jim Janes.
This webinar is designed for police officers, city attorneys, prosecutors, and assistant prosecutors. To register, visit https://michiganprosecutor.org and click on “Training Calendar.”
