Motions Requests for a ruling of law outside of jury Rape Shield-these laws, adopted by a majority of states, preclude presentation of evidence of victim’s prior sexual activity with anyone other than defendant Here-judges ruled that accounts of her prior sexual conduct was admissible

Lawyers Lawyers for each took different approach in constructing story Goldberg- prosecutor-tried to lay groundwork for who Leslie was Defense could have -argued that she was mentally capable -that she was sexually experienced -didn’t know her but this would require them taking stand -down and dirty approach-she was promiscuous and wanted it

Were the Strategies effective? Tom Ford-Chris Archer Alan Zegas-Bryant Grober Michael Queques-Kevin Scherzer Louis Esposito-Kyle Scherzer

Prosecution Unreliability of Leslie Experts Mother

Was Justice Done? The adversary process is a credibility contest, focusing on winning and losing What was accomplished by sentences Rehabilitation? Deterrence? Punishment?
