Take a look at who is making a difference in the criminal justice arena.   Defending the United States Constitution is a calling that these professionals have elevated to an art form.
Director Brandon Perron and the World Famous Dr. Henry Lee lectured at the 2012 Florida Association of Licensed Investigators Super Conference in Cocoa Beach, Florida. 
Brandon Perron with Dr. Henry Lee.

In 1998 CDITC Director and Founder Brandon Perron published his first book, Uncovering Reasonable Doubt: The Component Method.  The book and Component Method has become the standard in criminal defense investigation.  His career has afforded him the opportunity to test his methodology on homicide cases with such legal celebrities as famed defense attorney F. Lee Bailey and internationally recognized Forensic Scientist Dr. Henry Lee.   In addition to working with the high powered criminal justice stars he has also lectured with them.   Brandon joined the stage with Dr. Lee in Cocoa Beach in May.  His efforts included an 8 hour Criminal Defense program with Bloodstain Pattern Expert and Brother Brad Perron as well as Computer Forensic Examiner Anthony Pullano.

 

Brandon also delivered a high powered lectures regarding his newest book.  Once agan he demonstrates his ability to simplify the methodical process of investigation to the discipline of Forensic Interviewing.  He has added to the process with a new Forensic Interviewing book and methodology!  Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery - The FTER Method was developed by Brandon as a supplement to the Component Method of criminal defense investigation. FTER enhances the investigative interview process by elevating the investigator's understanding of testimonial evidence as it relates to analysis, evaluation, recovery, and documentation. Testimonial evidence often becomes the primary focus in pursuit of the truth and the development of a sound defense theory. Therefore, the CDI as a professional criminal investigator must understand the evolutionary process of testimonial evidence and the manner in which it becomes fact and ultimately introduced as evidence.  This is a must read for the professional criminal defense investigator.

 

Contents - Introduction, The Truth Seeker and Agent of Counsel, The Component Method of Criminal Investigation,  History of Interviewing / Ethical Considerations, Interviewing:  Art of Science?  FTER: Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery,  Strategic Applications, Critical Thinking & The Nature of Truth, The Anatomy of a Lie,  The Elements of Testimonial Evidence, Preparation & Planning, Conducting the Interview, Advanced Interviewing Techniques,  The Defendant Interview.
