The Last Sanctioned Blood Sport
I. Effective Communication
People by nature are storytellers. Some of us tell taller tales than others however, this remains a natural and effective way to communicate under the pressures of cross examination. In this session, Rae will show you why and how.
II. Defense Attorney Tactics
Defense attorneys are taught the art of cross-examination from day one in law school. Yes . . . there is an art, strategy, and objective behind it. In this session, Rae uncovers some of the more popular techniques used when the defense crosses law enforcement officers. She also offers defensive tactics to combat them.
IV. When Your Past Rears Its Ugly Head
I’m pretty sure everyone reading this is human. That being so, we have all done something or have had something done to us (or both!) that we are not proud of. Defense attorneys love to “dish the dirt” whenever they can in attempts to discredit you. In this session, Rae offers strategies to effectively prepare for this and keep the shine on your badge in the midst of the fight.
III. Overcoming Anxiety
If someone tells you, “Don’t be nervous. Don’t be anxious” you will only be more nervous and anxious. In this session, Rae arms you with not only the science behind defense attorney strategies that play upon anxiety, but also how to lay an axe to the root of any anxiety before you ever take the stand.
V. Correctable Mistakes
If you’re a warrior, you run towards a good fight. Cross examination, however, is not a GOOD fight. Rae teaches you in this session the “game” defense attorneys use, how to effectively play it, and how to keep your warrior heart intact.
VI. Report Writing
In her years of experience as a defense attorney, Rae has found officer reports to be a ripe source of cross examination ammunition. Reports are used to discredit a witness and establish reasonable doubt. In this session, Rae shows you some of the most common pitfalls and habits officers make and how to easily correct them for a buttoned-up report.
VII. K9 Handler Testimony
This is by far Rae’s favorite session and one in which she has had personal experience sitting under cross. Rae will teach you how to recognize defense attorney tactics designed to attack the credibility of you and your K9 and how to prepare for and defend yourself against it on the stand.
