SUMMARY:Social Worker Meetup: Keeping Mitigation Themes Compelling
DESCRIPTION:We have talked in the past about mitigation themes and also referred to the John B. Meixner\, Jr. article\, “Modern Sentencing Mitigation” that includes an analysis of the most compelling themes with the best outcomes in federal sentencing. This social work meetup will look at themes we use and themes Meixner says are most compelling\, and we will talk about how to keep these themes fresh\, innovative\, and compelling each time. How do we create different narratives if we are using (seeing) the same themes? What do we do to not feel like our writing is in a rut? This will be a good discussion to get us all thinking innovatively and creatively! \nStephanne Cline Thornton is a West Virginia native who has worked in and around criminal defense and mitigation for more than 20 years in Georgia\, Colorado\, and West Virginia. She is currently the Clinical Director for the West Virginia Judicial and Lawyer Assistance Program\, and owner of Transform Legal\, a consultancy focused on mitigation\, training\, and sustainability. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor\, Stephanne focuses on proper assessment for and access to trauma and substance use disorder treatment to ensure the health and well-being of affected individuals. Stephanne is on the Trauma-Informed Care Network Speakers Bureau and uses that platform to call attention to the intersection of secondary traumatic stress and legal practice. She approaches her work with clients\, lawyers\, social workers\, and mitigation specialists through a contextualized mitigation lens.

SUMMARY:Investigator Meetup- Defending Against Cell Phone Location data
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we will delve into the critical examination of the FBI’s long-standing practices in call detail record analysis\, a methodology that has been utilized in the legal system for over a decade. Initially introduced as a scientific approach\, it was never originally intended for determining the precise location of a mobile phone. However\, it has gained acceptance based on its perceived scientific merit\, and only in recent years have we witnessed challenges.\nOur session will provide an evidence-based exploration of the flawed assumptions and practices inherent in call detail record analysis. By scrutinizing the methodologies employed by law enforcement agencies\, we will reveal instances where these methods not only fail to place a suspect near a crime scene but also highlight their inherent unreliability.\nIt’s important to note that this presentation will not cover alternative methods like Truecall\, which offer valid approaches for estimating mobile phone locations. Instead\, our focus will remain on the shortcomings of the FBI CAST methods\, demonstrating their lack of scientific and engineering support.\nWe will elucidate how Call Detail Records\, at best\, can only establish a phone’s connection to a specific tower and lack the capability to estimate the tower’s coverage area.
