21 Social Media and the Courtroom What should Counsel ask during voir dire? During the Conrad Murray trial regarding the death of Michael Jackson the jury questionnaire asked jurors to disclose information about their social media posts. What happens when a juror attempts to friend a defendant? A judge in Florida disqualified a male juror after he attempted to friend a female defendant.
22 Obtain, Secure and Protect your Investigative Results Obtain Internet searches- Find as much public information as possible Authorization from the plaintiff Preservation Letters Discovery Requests- Tailor requests to information relevant to the claim Secure and Protect Print Store Electronically
23 Helpful Preservation Links American Bar Association article on Preservation of Social Media Evidence 1/02_dibianca.html Link to Sample Preservation Letters from the American Bar Association e/2007/materials/data/papers/v2/046.pdf
24 Using Your Results Depositions Negotiations Trial
25 Watch out for Pitfalls Be on the alert for false information planted by the plaintiff.
26 Additional Potential Pitfalls Admissibility Issues - Court rules vary! Romano v. Steelcase, Inc. 907 N.Y.S. 2d 610 (Suffolk. Co., 2010)- No reasonable expectation of privacy for information posted to the internet Parker v. State of Delaware (2014) 85 A.3d 682 (2014), the Court held that social. media posts that were purported to be authored by the defendantappellant were appropriately authenticated by circumstantial evidence.
27 Additional Potential Pitfalls Friending Issues and a Good Faith Investigation Friending under false pretenses or friending a represented party can lead to trouble. The Federal Trade Commission has defined "pretexting" as "the practice of getting personal information under false pretenses."
28 TIPS and TRICKS Start with a simple Google, Yahoo, and Bing search, but don t overlook the value of a news search such as digg Search early and search often Use sites that are specific to the loss i.e., if a claimant alleges they are disabled check out LinkedIn Don t forget friends and family Ask about social media during recorded statements, interviews, depositions, etc. Don t forget to investigate the judge and jury Likes on Facebook can provide a wealth of information about a person s activities Screen shots provide credibility that the information was not modified
