MEDICAL BACKGROUND FOR ABUSIVE HEAD TRAUMA CASES
Dr. Lori Frasier will talk about the diagnostic process that child abuse physicians and experts follow. She will discuss the medical approach to and definitions of abusive head trauma as child abuse. Dr. Frasier will also discuss current “alternative” theories that appear in such cases, and the evidence-based approach to these theories and the witnesses that support them. She will discuss medical facts should be considered before charges are brought and while preparing for trial.
COLLABORATION WITH MEDICAL EXPERTS TO UNDERSTAND THE MEDICAL FINDINGS AND EDUCATE THE TRIER OF FACT
Prosecutor Robert Parrish will address the significance of medical findings, the importance of working with the medical experts from the occurrence of the abuse or fatality through preparation for trial, and the advantages of using state-of-the-art methods for illustrating complex medical concepts. He will also assist attendees in understanding the defense medical witnesses’ claims and theories and how to use the medical experts as potential rebuttal witnesses.
CHALLENGING DEFENSE EXPERTS AND THEORIES
Prosecutor Debbie Feinstein will demonstrate, using several case studies, the legal and real-world challenges that medical professionals, child welfare investigators, law enforcement and prosecutors face when investigating and prosecuting abusive head trauma child abuse cases. She will address common misperceptions and media attempts to distort the scientific and medical basis for the diagnosis of abusive head trauma. She will outline legal and factual ways to overcome these challenges and distortions, including filing affirmative motions to limit the testimony of defense expert witnesses and motions in response to Frye or Daubert challenges to medical testimony relating to the abusive head trauma diagnosis.
