Advancing Justice Through Expert Testimony | New Media Advocacy Project 2011 vma awards
In November 2013, partner 2011 vma awards news Desktop BAI (BAI) and the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH) - inviting us to Haiti to produce a film which supports the use of expert testimony in court Haiti. Film designed primarily for judges, prosecutors, and lawyers but a universal message: expert testimony is very important for criminal trial, and especially in cases of rape.
Judge neither physicians nor psychologists or experts in ballistics. But to judge the case based on the evidence from these sectors. So, many courts often call experts to help judges understand the details a case or assisting attorneys oriented cases based on scientific evidence. Yet, in Haiti, there are not many people who use expert testimony in criminal proceedings. Without guidelines, the judge can not take proper decision for the plaintiff or defendant. Absence expertise deflects cause being rendered by a fairly complete.
Although it is important for Haitian courts use expert witnesses in all criminal proceedings, the most urgent necessity in cases of sexual violence. In summer last year, the judge rejected 2011 vma awards several cases of sexual violence because the victims had adequate trauma symptoms: inability to recall details of crimes nanoubyen give a testimony 2011 vma awards differan every time. Modern psychiatric literature recognize this behavior as something common in rape victims traumatized. But judges are not familiar with human behavior after the rape and used differently every time that testimony as evidence that crimes have not been. In these cases, not only the accused, but Haiti's judicial system also makes the victim worse.
Medical expertise, emphasizing the necessity of expert testimony in cases of rape. In one case described in the film, a plaintiff unresolved ten t-seeking justice because she was raped, but the judges were deceived 2011 vma awards when they believe that a child this age unresolved sex should bleed when someone violates it. Gynecologist explained the court that even if most kids bleeding in cases of rape, there are exceptions. He could tell the judges during the trial that the child is not over-bleeding does not mean that they did not-could violate it. She successfully convinced the judges, who were re-issued another verdict if not-did 2011 vma awards this, that rape can occur without bleeding in such situations.
Also recently, a landlord 2011 vma awards was brutally raped on maids did-working home. When she brought the case before the court, before 2011 vma awards a commissioner before and after an appellate court stated that the failure of the girl has not been saved when they thought he had a chance, meaning there was consent. Not been there consent. Again, it is common for a woman who stayed home violated his due-typing the shock and fear. An expert can help judges understand this phenomenon and gotten causes the victim reach justice.
N-Map and our partners in the BAI will distribute this film gives judges and prosecutors during the summer vacation as the trial will restart 2011 vma awards after a few months. We have two goals: First, to convince people that work in the areas of expert testimony on the importance of justice and secondly, show that peers used expert testimony and easy to implement. Also, many women-rights groups as partners in KOFAVIV -requires to add video in the workshops. We plan to work with Bar-Haiti for putting your video program mandatory for all new lawyers to Haiti.
Capacity for this video-it encouraged to consider expert testimony beyond litigious Haiti I'm extremely hopeful. It makes me believe even more that we need to provide expert testimony to true justice and thankfully, I am not one who believes that.
Carlos Hercule, Bar Haiti's President, "There are many injustices that the CE tier. And to solve this problem, they should come with the evidence scientifically, they must come with his expertise. Many judges and prosecutors 2011 vma awards kesyonnen I agree with Master Carlos. In fact, during the week we were re-filmed in Haiti, I met people who disagree. This amazing thing is that people who did not agree-they are experts: a gynecologist and a psychologist. Since this was perplexing to me, I asked them why. Both give me the same answer: more time in court testifying for victims means less time in practice to provide medical or psychological services that the Haitian people desperately need.
Answers that I did not expect-make-me think differently 2011 vma awards soupotansyèl video-win for him and relieve cost burdens human resources expert testimony-not only in Haiti, but in other judicial systems have limited resources too. Even the United States, the cost of expert testimony favored the legal office with money. For public defender-like Brooklyn Defender 2011 vma awards Service-price experts too expensive even if expert testimony usually give better results. We must ask: Even if we use expert testimony everywhere, his advantage-giving those who can pay?
