This webinar discusses the role of electronic evidence in proving domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. It also examines how to document financial abuse and how “following the money” techniques used in criminal investigations can also document abuse and uncover crimes present in family court domestic violence cases. We also discussed how to use audio recordings, GPS monitoring, texts, email, and other electronic evidence in more successful outcomes in criminal and family cases involving immigrant victims. This webinar features Jennifer Landhuis, the Director of SPARC and Elliott Casey, a staff attorney at Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorneys’ Services Council.
