00:04
some of the biggest challenges that
00:06
i face in dealing with child pornography
00:08
cases is
00:09
number one the the laws that are in
00:12
place particularly in federal court the
00:13
laws are very harsh on child pornography
00:16
oftentimes we have prosecutors that
00:18
specialize in that area and that is
00:20
their main focus
00:22
and oftentimes the da’s office or the
00:25
u.s attorney’s office has certain
00:26
policies in place
00:27
and they’re very rigid about those
00:29
policies so that is a whole battle
00:31
to try to work with the prosecutor to
00:34
ease up
00:35
potentially on what they think the case
00:39
is worth and what they’re after versus
00:40
what is
00:41
the right and just thing for the client
00:43
who’s involved in that situation
00:45
if you have a defense to child
00:47
pornography case that means you’re going
00:48
to wind up in
00:49
in a jury trial and one of the biggest
00:52
difficulties i’ve seen in those cases
00:54
is really the stigma attached to child
00:57
pornography cases
00:58
so your lawyer is going to have to be
01:00
very effective at
01:02
sort of desensitizing the jury to the
01:04
nature
01:05
of what the allegations are and be able
01:08
to set that aside in any prejudice they
01:10
may have
01:10
set that aside and listen to the
01:12
evidence in an unbiased fashion
