'Crash to Courtroom' training offered by PAAM, December 1-2

The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the virtual “Lethal Weapon 2: Crash to Courtroom” training on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 1-2, via Zoom.

The goals of this training include:

• Understanding the importance of credibility building during testimony.
• Developing skills that will enhance the connection between the crash reconstruction witness and jurors.
• Gaining insight into defense trial strategies and understanding the “rules.”
