Successful prosecutions are a team effort, which start with a thorough investigation. Perhaps more than any other crime, human trafficking cases require corroboration of the victim's account, considerations surrounding culpability, and flexibility in the approach to the case. This session will explore the issue of human trafficking as seen in the 2023 movie Wonka, using that story to discuss strategies in gathering evidence to corroborate the case, evaluating the culpability of co-defendants, and preparing for a successful prosecution.
Learning Objectives:
identify investigative strategies to achieve a successful prosecution.
discuss decisions on how to evaluate culpability.
consider victim dynamics throughout trial preparation.
