INVESTIGATIONS FOR CHILD CUSTODY PART 3; PRETEXT & COURTROOM PREPARATION
FOR AGENTS AND ATTORNEYS
It must be understood that the battle between two persons who are
fighting over the most important item that this world has; our nations
children. Further a bad parent may look at a child as money as one can
collect from social security, food stamps etc. Courtroom experience on
a child custody case will leave a lasting impression. You will be
developing someone else for life for the better. Therefore your
mannerisms and presentation of themselves are going to be weighed in
regards to his testimony. The Judge and jury will interpret your
impression. This action will be difficult as it is because often the
judge and jury will have observed two people in bitter courtroom battle,
lying to one another down the line.
Absent evidence the Judge
and Jury may not know who is lying. This is why you are so important.
An unbiased professional with substantial evidence and can testify to
their findings which build a solid bearing on the outcome of the
investigation.
You can affect the judge and
juries opinion of yourself through the simple things in life. For
example how you tied your shoes, if your shoes and belt match,
coordinated with your suit, the color of your suit, the way your hair is
groomed, the mannerism of your voice and sincerity in your voice, every
breath of air that and the way you breath, the way you look at the jury,
the attorneys and judge, the parties to the action all are
representative of actions that will dramatize the success or failure of
your client's case.
Yet, the most important
aspect is your courtroom preparation for the action of testifying.
Reviewing the case again and again with a trial attorney is imperative
in perfecting the best vocal presentation as well as being sure that the
operative has a full understanding of the case and facts.
Pitfalls to avoid are the
cocky attitude, the "know-it-all" attitude, or the "I don't care"
attitude. Always demonstrate a unbiased position in the matter and state
the facts as they occurred, without question, and of course, the manner
in which you originally wrote your reports will prove to be the most
valuable aspect for you case. The details that you had recorded at the
time will be the convincing factors as far as a judge or a jury is
concerned.
When I was young, I would
spend many hours sitting in courtrooms observing testimony of witnesses,
mainly professional witnesses, to garnish the feeling, atmosphere, and
psychosituational psychology needed to “win” a case, which would stand
the test of judicial review. What impressed me the most was those
Agents and experts who could stop a case from having to go to trial with
massive amounts of relevant pertinent data and evidence. The best
investigators were those that were the best prepared for the day that
the court would require testimony. The following is a sample of the
types of evidence developed by a written document.

NARRATIVE
Client, Dr. William Whitman, was divorced from his x-wife, Janet. They
had three children, a girl 5, Debby, a boy 9, William Jr. and an infant
boy Sam. The client had temporary custody of the children for six
months, when his ex-wife and her boyfriend kidnapped the children and
kept them in hiding.
Dr. Whitman
was in general practice in Torrance California. He owned his own
home and business and was doing very well.
The key background evidence
of Jack Black, now supposedly married to his Client’s ex-wife was their
marriage certificate indicated he was living next door to the Client’s
ex-wife, which was false. His past was checkered with a continuing
pattern of trouble including many people who would appear in court to
expose his dealing of Methenfedamine. Black had also been in several
fights and made lots of enemies at the South Bay Bar but he also had
friends there. The night bartender gave the agents many names.
Jack and Janet Black also
have a college girl living with them as a babysitter, named Greta.
Their house is in shambles and a bed has been put in the living room
with the children sleeping in the attic.
The children are not allowed
to come home after school until approximately 5:30 P.M. They go to the
home of David Berg, a schoolteacher who resides at 454 Wacuta Street.
The 454 Wacuta household is quite famous for sex orgies with many
unscrupulous characters going in and out.
One male who resides there
named “Marty”, who is a friend of the Client will help our Agent. Marty
is a tall odd-looking fellow with long black hair and a beard.
The case objective has been defined as holding surveillance of
both homes, noting and photographing who goes in and who comes out while
the children are there, continue undercover work at both homes, and to
get all the information on Black that we can.
The Client has a personal
secretary, Marcia Leventhal, who has some names, dates, etc that will
help our Agent. She can be reached:
Mornings: 371-6000
Afternoons:
371-4488
Evenings: 541-7234
