Presenting Medical Evidence

Presenting Medical Evidence in an Adult Rape Trial (DVD, self-directed curriculum)

Divided into ten segments, this DVD explores the presentation of medical evidence in an adult victim rape trial. Some areas of focus include:

  • Medical Assessment & Evaluation
  • Forensic Sexual Assault Examination
  • Pre-Trial Preparation of the Medical Witness
  • Admitting Medical Evidence in a Rape Trial
  • What to Do When There is No Medical Evidence
  • Cross-Examination of the Medical Witness

The segments present information in a clear, concise, useable format geared specifically for prosecutors. Although not a trial manual, there are concrete examples as well as sections with specific guidance for sex crimes prosecutors.
