Forensic Experts Need To Know More Than Computers To Be An
Expert Witness
International speaker and business coach, Stevee Ashlock,
has been commissioned to co-author, “Techno Security Guide to E-Discovery and
Digital Forensics.” It is being
published by Syngress Publication, a division of Elsevier, Inc. The book is scheduled to be released at the
2007 Techno Forensic Conference in Gaithersburg,
Maryland, October 29-31,
2007. Ashlock is currently billed a
keynote speaker at the conference and will be available for book signings.
A recent newcomer to the cyber crime and computer forensic
field, Ashlock has found an untouched niche.
She teaches expert witnesses how to present their evidence and testimony
in an effective manner where jury members can understand the necessary
information needed to make a solid decision. “It is vital for an expert witness
to establish credibility from the moment they step foot in the courtroom,”
Ashlock declares. “A first impression is
conceived within the first three seconds.
This is long before the expert witness even has a chance to speak!”
Ashlock was a guest speaker at the 2007 CyberCrime Summit at Kennesaw
StateUniversity
in Kennesaw, Georgia, this past spring. She delivered an informative, intense, but
humorous, keynote lecture to her audiences.
Attendees consisted mainly of FBI, GBI, law enforcement, government
agencies and computer forensic specialists.
Ashlock is confirmed as a guest speaker for the 2008 CyberCrime Summit, March 17-21,
2008.
In early June, Ashlock wowed her audience again at the
Techno Security Conference in Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina. While there, she was asked to video tape a
preview segment for the Techno Security website. It can be seen at http://www.Techno2007.com.

extended an invitation for Ashlock to join the speaker agenda for the 2007
Techno Forensic Conference in Gaithersburg, Maryland, October 23-31, 2007, and the 2008 Techno

Evidence Indicated Accused Wrongfully Charged for
Kidnapping and Rape
Stevee Ashlock was recently retained by Roddrick Mayberry as
the Trial Consultant for his pending trial in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Mayberry’s trial is set for docket in
mid-August. Mayberry is being held
without bond for charges stemming from an arrest over a year ago. Criminal defense attorney, Leah Davis Maddson,
resides over the Mayberry case with the assistance of the well-acclaimed criminal
defense attorney, Dennis Schieb.
Ashlock owns The Trial Experts, a trial consulting business
in Atlanta, Georgia. As a trial consultant, she
thoroughly studies the case in detail by reviewing the Grand Jury indictment,
witness and victim statements, police reports, crime scene reports and any
evidence. Then she meticulously prepares
the specific Voire Dire questions for jury selection.
During the jury selection process, Ashlock will carefully
study each potential juror to determine who she would prefer to sit in the jury
box. She must select the best twelve,
plus an alternate. Ashlock declares, “I
search out those who have an open mind and can listen to both sides of the
story without prejudice. Fairness,
honesty and common sense are the three most important components for a good
jury member. Ethnicity, sex or age do
not play a major factor in my recommendation.”
Throughout the trial, Ashlock will observe the jury’s
reaction to the witnesses and their testimonies. She will look for inconsistencies and
discrepancies in the testimonies given.
Ashlock discloses that there is substantial evidence indicating that
Mayberry has been wrongfully and inappropriately charged. “Most cases are very interesting and have
numerous factors involved, but are not too difficult to figure out the truth of
what happened based on the evidence,” Ashlock claims. “It is the jury that has the power to control
the outcome of the trial. Therefore, the
defendant rests their life in the jury’s hands!”
