CDI 202 DL – Forensic Interviewing for the Criminal Defense Investigator – This course introduces the concepts of FTER - Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery. The study regiment builds upon and enhances theories and concepts of investigative interviewing covered in the introductory Component Method training. Investigative interviewing, as distinct from interrogation and/or talk therapy, is discussed as it relates to the process of criminal defense. Practical issues, such as the significance of sworn statements and witness interviewing strategies, are covered, as are the purpose and theory behind Kinesic interviewing, cognitive interviewing, standard law enforcement interviews, and the visual imagery techniques. The theory of Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery is introduced to the seasoned investigator. Other practical and theoretical issues relevant to the role of the criminal defense investigator are also addressed. The significance of interviewing to obtain “testimonial evidence” from a forensic perspective is emphasized.
