Strategies for Defending Internet Pornography Cases: Leading Lawyers on Analyzing Electronic Documents, Utilizing Expert Witnesses, and Explaining Technological Evidence (Inside the Minds)

Strategies for Defending Internet Pornography Cases is an authoritative, insider's perspective on mounting a defense against charges of possession of Internet pornography. Featuring defense attorneys from across the country, these experts guide the reader through the key considerations necessary when investigating accusations of Internet crimes and examine the complex technology issues at work. Discussing the challenges of defending these technology-driven cases, the authors explain the concepts of shareware, unintentional downloading, digitally altered images, and temporary Internet file folders as they relate to false claims of Internet pornography possession and offer advice on selecting an appropriate defense strategy. From overcoming the public perception of pornography through your defense to utilizing computer and psychological experts, these top lawyers walk the reader through the steps of a case from initially meeting with a client and developing a trusting relationship to reviewing settlement and appeal options. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this sensitive area of law made more complex in the digital age.
