DISMISSALS
State v. J.A. – First Degree Rape
RELEASED: Nov. 30, 2010
RALEIGH, NC – Criminal lawyer Patrick Roberts of the Roberts Marcilliat & Mills PLLC PLLC attended a National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) continuing legal education (CLE) course called “Confronting the Mob Mentality: Defending Sex Cases.” The course, hosted in Savannah, Georgia, featured a variety of topics related to sex crimes defense.
According to Mr. Roberts, this particular CLE course was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn from notable sex crimes defense attorneys and defense advocates throughout the country. The narrow sex crimes topic of the CLE meant that there were fewer participants and, therefore, a greater opportunity to ask questions of the presenters and learn from the other attorneys at the CLE.
Based on information from the NACDL website, topics discussed during the November 2010 CLE included:
The overall objective of Mr. Roberts‘ participation in the CLE was to learn new techniques to use when defending against state and federal sex crimes charges in North Carolina. “My goal was to develop greater understanding of how to defend these cases,” Mr. Roberts said. “In sex crimes, the defendant is generally presumed to be guilty even if there is a lack of evidence because everyone wants to protect the child.”
