Forensic knowledge in criminal law proceedings is crucial. I have more than 20 years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer and a Ph.D. in criminology. In my career as an attorney, I have obtained extensive experience and knowledge regarding forensic evidence and procedures. When combined with my commitment to thorough research and dedicated case preparation, this knowledge is a tremendous benefit to my clients.

“Accused: Guilty or Innocent? Offers an intimate account of what happens when someone is formally charged with a crime and sent to trial – all solely from the perspective of the accused, their legal team and family members. Each episode follows the accused person’s journey through the planning of their legal defense, the trial and, ultimately, the verdict. As evidence mounts and the trial approaches, these emotional stories provide a first-hand look at what it is like when your freedom is on the line.”
The first episode sets the tone for the series. There is no narrator, no fast-cut editing, no sensationalizing of the story. Instead, Lawson, his lawyer and his family do the talking, taking you inside the mind of a man who gunned down his wife in his own living room. Before you judge Bryan Lawson - you need to watch this episode in it’s entirety.
You begin to discover the effort involved in obtaining evidence that is crucial to his defense and the soul searching he must go through when offered a plea bargain. Along the way, you see first-hand the security footage that captures the moments that led to his crime.

Just Mercy is a another excellent film that I highly recommend.
This film is about the exoneration of Walter McMillian who spent nearly six years on Alabama’s death row after being convicted of a murder he didn’t commit.
A note at the end of the movie explains: “For every nine people who have been executed in the U.S., one person on death row has been exonerated and released, a shocking rate of error.”
