SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap VIII Mitigation Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now OPEN for the 2024 Bridging the Gap VIII Mitigation Conference. \nPreparing a capital case for trial is difficult. You know the state’s case. You have figured out some sort of defense. You must plan for a sentence hearing. All the planning is directed towards convincing one or more jurors to vote for life even though they believe in the death penalty. This conference focuses on the moment in time of the killing. That will be on the minds of the jurors. Somehow\, we must give the jurors reasons for life\, which is called mitigation. But the presentation of mitigation must break through the hard crust of a belief in the death penalty\, a belief that you are responsible for your actions\, an eye for an eye. Just telling the jury about your client’s mental problems and childhood problems will not break the crust. We must show how those issues and life problems affected the client’s decision to be at the scene and deciding to kill someone. We will use the fictitious case of State v. Thomas Johnson. We will try to figure out why Thomas was in the parking lot trying to rob someone and why he shot and killed the victim. From there we gather and review all his records and history looking for clues to the why. We have gathered an amazing group of speakers who will explain how to recognize issues and problems the client has and explain how those issues and problems affected the moment in time when Thomas killed someone. We will then\, with the help of the attendees\, figure out the best way to tell the client’s story to the jury. \nThe seminar will be a live\, in person conference in Asheville\, NC November 12-14\, 2024. \nThe seminar will be at the Crowne Plaza\, 1 Resort Drive\, Asheville.\nThe Crowne Plaza has reserved a block of rooms at $89.10 per night. \nLink to the Agenda\nSee also: A MOMENT IN TIME and Case study – Wymore August 2024\n  \nREGISTRATION: \nAttorneys: $280.00 (this includes the CLE fees for the State Bar) \nMitigation specialists: $230.00 \nFact investigators: $230.00 \nOthers: $230.00 \n\nHOW TO REGISTER:  \nPlease mail a check or money order payable to IDS: \n     Jennifer Webster \n     Office of the Capital Defender \n     123 West Main Street\, Suite 210 \n     Durham\, NC 27701 \nThe link to the hotel is below. \nPLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE FOR BOOKING YOUR ROOM AT THE REDUCED RATE IS OCTOBER 22\, 2024. \n\nThe seminar begins Tuesday\, November 12\, 2024\, at noon.
